E-drug: Re: Generics
----------------------------------------------------------
I have noticed that my Drug Plan has exempted several drugs from its
policy of paying for only gerenic equivalents.
Does anybody have any info or can anybody supply any references on
the dosage of gerenic vs brand name drugs. I seem to remember an
article published several years ago which found huge discrepancies in
actual dosage of the active ingredient, but I cannot locate this or any
other article on this subject..
Any help will be greatly appreciated
