Get low prices during National Women’s Health Week — and every week.

This week is National Women’s Health Week. Women’s health is important year-round, but this week marks an excellent opportunity to think more about how we can help women live healthy lives.

For us at Blink, a big part of living a healthy life means being able to afford the medications you need.

That’s why we offer low prices on many common medications taken by women.

Thyroid Health

About 20 million Americans have some kind of thyroid disorder (do you?), and women are five to eight times more likely than men to be affected. A common thyroid disorder is hypothyroidism, for which levothyroxine (generic Synthroid) is a common treatment.

Osteoporosis

Of the estimated 10 million cases of osteoporosis in the United States, about 80% are among women. The good news is that it can be treated with medication, and there are several options available.

Some include: alendronate (generic Fosamax), risedronate (generic Actonel) and ibandronate (generic Boniva). Purchase through Blink to save significantly over retail prices at CVS.*

Birth Control Pills

According to a survey done between 2015 and 2017, about 5.6 million women used birth control pills. Some common pills that are cheaper with Blink compared to retail prices at CVS*, include: levonorgestrel-ethin estradiol (generic Aviane), drospirenone-ethinyl estradiol (generic Yasmin), Loestrin Fe and Nor-Q-D.

Menopause

This transitional process usually occurs during a woman’s 40s or 50s. Even though it’s a natural process, some doctors prescribe medications to help relieve unpleasant symptoms, like hot flashes.

Among those, Premarin and gabapentin are commonly prescribed and are more affordable through Blink when compared to CVS retail prices.*

*Prices herein obtained in 3 different US ZIP codes based on the designated market areas (DMAs) with the highest number of Blink Health customers. Prices obtained May 2019 and subject to change.
