Patients looking for ways to save on their Effexor XR prescription can learn more about the $4 Co-Pay Commitment Program through the official Effexor XR website or by calling 877-612-1148. For those who qualify for the program, savings of up to $75 a month or up to $1,000 a year are offered. The card is used at pharmacies, and patients must present it along with their prescription in order to receive the discount. It is not insurance, and patients who have public health insurance policies like Medicaid may not use it.
