Understand pharmaceutical companies' benefit programs and find out how to get discounts on medicines

Folha de S. Paulo | 02/04/2025

Since last Monday (31), the prices of medicines in Brazil have been increased by up to 5.06%, according to a decision by Cmed (Medicines Market Regulation Chamber). The increase, although not the biggest in recent years, could still have an impact on consumers' pockets.

One of the alternatives for dealing with the new prices are the benefit programs offered by pharmaceutical companies. In some cases, discounts on various medicines can reach up to 50%, subject to patient registration.

Saudand in Evoluço (Biolab)

Biolab's program offers discounts of 20% to 50% on five of the brand's medicines (Lipless, Nebilet, Pantogar, Pressplus and Repatha).

To take part, you need a medical prescription with the doctor's CRM in order to have access to the products on offer. You can register by calling 0800 770 9096 or via the website (saudeemevolucao.com.br).

It is also possible to register in person at accredited pharmacies, presenting the prescription and the patient's CPF to validate the discount. The drugstores can be found on the laboratory's website.
