I am not a healthcare professional, but it doesn’t take a genius to realize how challenging their work can be. Ensuring that the public receives quality health services, especially at a time when new diseases are becoming more virulent and contagious by the day, is truly a heavy burden to carry.
We can say what we want about pharmaceutical companies. Still, at the end of the day, they provide the best support that healthcare professionals need to improve the quality and efficiency of their treatments.
The problem is, each body is unique. A prescription drug that might work for you may fail someone else.
Take me, for example. I was told by my doctor that prescription issues rarely happen. For some reason, though, I have once experienced taking the same drug (by two different brands) and getting different outcomes.
Fortunately, my doctor had free samples to give away, so he could give me another drug to try before prescribing more of it. It saved me from all the potential hassle and expenses.
This got me thinking: are other people going through the same thing? It was when I realized how essential free medication samples are.
Why Are Companies Offering Free Medication Samples for Healthcare Professionals?
Pharmaceutical companies also understand that each patient’s needs are unique. More than that, they know how hesitant people can be when trying out new drugs. Wouldn’t it be better, not to mention more profitable, for them to invest in samples instead?
After all, they’re rest assured their samples would be managed responsibly by providing them to healthcare professionals. It will also make their product more accessible. It’s a win-win for everyone.
Where To Find Free Medication Samples for Healthcare Professionals
Checking out reputable sampling aggregators like Hometester Club and Sampler.io is the best way to start looking for free medication samples. You can also look into my newest samples page, where you’ll find various offers, including medication.
I personally recommend the following sources to eligible healthcare professionals as well:
Pfizer
Pfizer is a company that needs no further introduction, especially due to its active role in averting the current global health crisis. The good news is, not even the pandemic can keep them from giving out free samples.
The most convenient way to request a sample is to register for their program online. You will gain access to a list of samples you are eligible for upon completing the sign-up process.
All you need to do now is select the medication samples you prefer and complete your order by providing your electronic signature. You can also print out your order form to sign and fax back if you wish.
Another way to order samples from Pfizer is by calling their Customer Service Center hotline, 1-800-505-4426, to place your request.
Pros:
- Well-known brand
- Never runs out of samples
- Samples tailored to one’s specialty
- Multiple ways to request samples available
Con:
- Samples outside your stated specialty might not be accessible
Henry Schein RX
I am personally a big fan of Henry Schein as a company. Turns out, I’m not alone. Fortune also declared it as the “World’s Most Admired Company” and ranked it first in social responsibility in its industry.
Even more impressive for me is their drug sampling program that makes free medication samples accessible to healthcare professionals and patients.
The first step towards getting your free samples is to check your eligibility through their website. You will then be allowed to access multiple brands in their drug sampling platform, which you can order online for free after providing your electronic signature.
