Branded or Generic Medicines?

I always use generic medicine if available. The price is a lot different most of the time, and medication is expensive. So if I can I will always get the generic.

My insurance provider requires us to use the generic to get a cheaper rate. I pay 45.00 per prescription for branded and 20.00-30.00 per prescrioption for generic. I have used generic meds for many years now when I can. Some do not have a generic such as Lipitor that works for me. There has to be an ingredient difference and I know one other erson that the generic for Lipitor does not work but take Lipitor and it works. Strange, huh!

i always use generic medicines, the price difference can be quite alot for a product that does largely the same as the branded one. i am very brand aware and i don't see why i should pay over the top prices for products just because of their brand name.

I barely take any medicines at all.
When I really need o take medicines I buy generic medicine, that I've seen working for people I know.

I always use generic brands. i cannot afford to buy the name brand products. It good to hear that you worked for this company,and that you can re-enforce tha fact that generics are as good as the name brands. Thanks for posting this.

I do always buy generic products rather than branded ones. I compare their prize and it's true it is so much higher than the generic products. Sometimes I'm forced to buy branded when there no available generic.

i usally use generic due to the price and it works jsut as good. now there have been a few that i only do name brand but that was when i had to use like soma and stuff like that. i get most of mine at walmart so i get the walmart brand for everything lol. well i take that back i do use bc powder and advil i dont do the generic on my asprin cause they just dont work as well on me.

hi jencai. I tend to buy the branded medicines if I had the choice and money. I believe that branded medicines have high quality control than cheaper generic medicines. I would rather take the branded medicines for my own consumption. I believe they offer the best in terms of efficacy. Thanks and good day!

my doctor always prescribes the generic meds for my hypertension. he told me that generic drugs have the same effects as branded drugs and even cheaper. that's why anytime i go to a drugstore i always buy the generic meds.

I try to use generic as much as I possibly can. It's usually just as good as the brand name. But, one of my prescription medicines, Intal, is not made in generic form though I know it has been around for at least 30 years. Even it's non-prescription nasal spray, Nasalcrom, can't be bought in generic form.
