Giant Eagle expands $4 generics program

CLEVELAND Giant Eagle announced today that it is expanding its $4 generic prescription drug program to include a total of more than 400 generic drugs, effective Nov. 8.

Giant Eagle launched the program, which makes commonly prescribed dosages, of up to a 30-day supply, of participating generic drugs available to Giant Eagle Pharmacy customers for only $4, in late 2006 with more than 300 drugs included. 

"The expansion of Giant Eagle's program to include 400 drugs for $4 is the largest of its kind by a major retailer," said vp of pharmacy Randy Heiser. "The generic medications included here are popular drugs that will help our customers, particularly senior citizens and those with families, live a healthy lifestyle."
