Ithough health insurance may
provide coverage for prescriptions,
there may be a "healthier"
discount found by purchasing generic drugs. Leam
more about how to get the biggest savings by
purchasing generic prescriptions from Acology
Pharmacy.
One of the simplest ways to cut health care costs is
to use generic prescriptions whenever possible
because they cost less than brand-name prescriptions.
Unlike other types of generic products such
as cereal or soup where the brand name is often
better, generic medications are just as pure, effective
and as high quality as their brand counterparts.
Generic drugs have the same active ingredients as
brand name prescription drugs and work the same
way as brand name drugs, but are sold at a huge
savings to customers. Generic drugs often look different
than brand name drugs and become available
once patents expire on their brand name counterparts.
After patent expiration, competitors can sell
prescription generic drugs at a huge savings to customers.
Talk to your doctor about the possibility of switching
to a generic version of your current medication if
one is available. The chances are high that there may be
something available for your use. Keep in mind; new
generic drugs are continually becoming available. If a
generic version of your prescription is not available
now, continue to ask your doctor or pharmacist at each
visit if a generic is available.
So, exactly how do generic pharmaceuticals
cost so much less than brand names?
The generic competitors do not have to pay for the
research and development costs that the brand name
drug manufacturers had to pay for so can offer the
generic drugs at a huge savings. Health insurance companies
in turn pass along the savings in their prescription
drug plan. Typically the costs for brand name drugs
are much higher, even with medical insurance. Prescription
drug plans typically highlight the importance of
asking for generics whenever possible.
Generic prescription drugs have the same quality as
name brand drugs. All generic drugs sold by prescription
have to meet regulatory requirements. In the U.S.,
inexpensive generic drugs have to meet approval by
the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). Unfortunately,
not all brand name drugs have generic counterparts.
About half of the brand name drugs available by
prescription have inexpensive generic drug equivalents.
It takes up to 20 years for a prescription drug
patent to expire. Once the patent expires, inexpensive
generic drugs can be made available at a significant
savings to customers.
Today's economic conditions warrant saving money
wherever we can. If you would like to decrease the
amount of money you spend on prescriptions by up to
half, please call Acology Pharmacy for their low prices.
You may be surprised at just how much you could be
saving! Acology Pharmacy sells only US FDA
approved generic brand name drugs. To keep their
prices low, they do not accept insurance payments and
they stock only generic pharmaceuticals but do offer
special-order name brand products at lower costs
when requested. Pharmacies that take insurance are
literally forced to charge uninsured patients high
prices to offset the very low profits that they accept
from insurance companies. Don't allow this to
happen to you!
