Save even more money by switching to generics
Ask about switching to a generic medication to save money on your prescriptions.
By not looking for the best deal on your prescription drugs, you may end up paying more than you should for your medications.
The easiest—and safest—way to save money on prescriptions is to ask for a generic, which typically costs less because the manufacturer did not have to conduct the initial research or studies that the branded drug did.
Generics fall into two categories:
Direct chemical equivalent – a drug that has the same active ingredient as its brand-name counterpart
Therapeutic alternative – a drug that may not be chemically equivalent to the brand, but has the same therapeutic or treatment effect
Direct chemical equivalents are practically identical to the branded drug, while therapeutic alternatives are part of the same family.
Is there a generic for your medication? You can ask…
Your health care provider. Check with your doctor or nurse if there’s a generic for any medication you’re prescribed.
Your pharmacist. Before getting a prescription filled, refilled or renewed, ask your pharmacist if there’s a generic alternative.
Express Scripts. You can review your prescriptions and specific generics savings opportunities at express-scripts.com.
Did you know?
All generics must adhere to strict guidelines before the FDA will approve their use and are the same as a brand-name medication in dosage, safety, effectiveness, strength, stability and quality.
