gone generic

hi pat, generics saves me lots of money too. am taking two kinds of medicines and when it is branded, one costs Php62.00 and i have to take one daily. when i bought the generics, it cost me Php15. see how much i have saved? have a nice day. ann

That is great that one of the medications that you had been spending a lot of money on has gone to a generic form. I know that we are lucky that most of the medications that we use in our home are generics, however when I had pneumonia last month I was prescribed an antibiotic that was a full cost and it was crippling to us because we didn't expect to have that expense. I hope that you have a good experience with the generic version of the medication.

I'm honestly glad that many medications are now generic,otherwise many people wouldn't able to afford to buy them. The non generic meds are a lot more expensive. I'm on several medications now and all of them are the generic version and yes, they work as good as the original name brand medications.

That is good news Pat. My husband and I are both on several medications and it costs us a lot of money each year. We are not entitled to any special prices because we are not receiving any pensions so even though our meds are listed in the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme it is still very expensive to buy them.

I do the generics when I have to have medications too. It is amazing the money that can be saved based on a name. I'm glad they have made a generic in the medicine you need. That will be so helpful.

I am agree with you. Medicians are much costly every where. I am frm India we are facing this problem. Here doctors prefer to prescribe medicine of some specfic companies with thier trade name. Genrtric Medicin of that salt is much cheaper. Here Gove insist to doctors precribe gentic medicine but no effect on doctor because of thies fical interest. I have experiance that genratic medicine is much effetive as companies specific medicines.

I'm glad to hear that for you. I don't always have luck with generics for myself. It really depends on what the medication is. Some work well and some don't at all. Glad you're getting to save some money.

If a product having no branded label and trade mark then it is useless. Likewise human beings also have to have the sense of humor. Have to improve the goodness in the society. Yes, you are right expensive medications have been going generic.
