Pfizer Inc. announced last week that it will extend through 2010 its program providing free prescription medications for people who have lost their jobs.
According to the Associated Press, the Pfizer program makes available more than 70 types of widely prescribed medications it manufactures, such as anti-pain drugs and anti-depressants. The program helps people who have lost jobs since Jan. 1, 2009 and have been taking the drug for three months or more.
