Yes! Definitely! You should ask your doctor, so he doesn’t write "prescribe as directed." If he does and it comes in a generic, your pharmacist has do fill as directed by your doctor. Good luck and good thinking of a way to save a bunch of $$.
Yes!! In fact, it’s recommended. Generics are much cheaper, and usually just about the SAME thing as brand name products. By all means, ask your pharmacist. Or even your doctor.
Yes go for it. I work at a pharmacy and we have to ask customers if they would prefer the generic brand. Although, not all drugs have a generic equivalent.
Yes you can and it will be much cheaper for you. Tell your doctor that you prefer generic drugs. I use generic unless there is not one available.
