re: #511 Obdicut

And more than that, too. Drug reps encourage doctors to write their prescriptions with ‘no substitution’, so that generics can’t be selected by the pharmacist.

I went back to my doc and asked for a generic on my blood pressure meds. The price went from $24 a month with copay to $4 a month. I have had to add an additional beta blocker, but it’s a generic as well, so I get that for $4.

So my total cost on the lower priced drugs are 8 vs 24.
