How can seniors claim discounts on prescription medicines in the Philippines?

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

Senior citizens in the Philippines can claim discounts on prescription medicines as part of the provisions under RA 9994. To avail of these discounts, seniors need to present their Senior Citizen ID at the pharmacy when purchasing medications. The discount typically applies to all essential medicines and is calculated before any other promotions. For more accurate information on specific medications and eligibility, it’s advisable to check with local pharmacies or refer to the official government website. Always ensure that the pharmacy you visit is aware of the discount policies for senior citizens.
