What is the name of Walmart's generic prescription drug program?

Walmart’s generic prescription drug program is commonly known as the $4 Prescription Program.

Walmart introduced the program in 2006, offering selected generic medicines at commonly prescribed dosages for $4 for up to a 30-day supply. The initiative was designed to make frequently used medications more affordable for customers, including people without insurance and those paying cash.

The program does not cover every generic drug, dosage, formulation, or state at the same price. Walmart’s list can vary, and higher dosages or special formulations may cost more. A 90-day supply of some eligible medicines has also been offered for $10, which is why the program is sometimes described more broadly as Walmart’s low-cost or affordable prescription program.

The $4 price applies to selected generic medicines rather than brand-name drugs. Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients as their branded equivalents, although availability and pricing depend on the specific medication and local pharmacy rules.
