| Merck Patient Assistance Program Sometimes, affording prescription medicines can be difficult. That's why at Merck, we have created the Patient Assistance Program—to keep affordable medicines within your reach. This private and confidential program provides medicine free of charge to eligible individuals, primarily the uninsured who, without our assistance, could not afford needed Merck medicines. Individuals who don’t meet the income or insurance criteria may still qualify for the Merck Patient Assistance Program if both they and their physician attest that the patient has special circumstances of financial and medical hardship, and their income is not above a set upper limit. |

| Merck Prescription Discount Program The Merck Prescription Discount Program is simple and convenient and will make an immediate difference in the lives of millions of Americans by helping them obtain access to Merck medicines. |
