DeSoto County is making free prescription drug discount cards available under a program sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) that offers average savings of 20% off the reatil price of commonly prescribed drugs.

The cards may be used by all county residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage, and are accepted at several DeSoto County pharmacies. A national network of more than 59,000 participating retail pharmacies also will honor the NACo prescription discount card.
