Why You'll Love Generic Drugs.

Why You ll Love Generic Drugs.

Are you a heavy drug user?

My best advice:buy generic products.

You will undoubtedly save money, while taking care of yourself as well.

What is a generic medicine?

A generic medicine is equivalent to a brand name. After 10 years of existence on the market, the license of the drug (or "molecule" for the close friends) became free.

The generic is the same molecule , in another drug. Lesser known brands, different boxes, but the same main composition.

And that's where other brands rush to offer you the same thing, but twice the price!

Don't hesitate!

So, above all, don't hesitate:ask your pharmacist mainly for generics. He cannot refuse you. Moreover, it offers it by itself in 80% of cases.

For my part, I consume a lot of generics and I have converted my whole family. To all of us, we must have already saved a lot of money!

Citizen benefit :generic drugs, which are less expensive, therefore make it possible not to enlarge the Social Security hole. You immediately feel more like a citizen!

Doctor's opinion

More and more, the doctor will write down the name of the generic drug on your prescriptions . Did you notice it? If not, ask him why and, if he doesn't mind, take the generic. If you pay for the medicine, it's all good for you, if it's reimbursed, it's good for Social Security.

For some reason, the doctor sometimes asks that the medicine given not be the generic one. In that case, give it a listen.

Do you also take generic drugs? On the contrary, are you against it? It's time to tell us why in the comments!

Savings achieved

To save on medication, just ask for the generic equivalent medication in question to your pharmacist. Very simple but few people do it.

You have to think about it because the savings made can be up to 50% of the price of the drug with a brand. If the pharmacist does not offer it, you are entitled to request it.
