My insurance will only pay for the generic. Does it work the same?

I'm also on Generic and I think so. Usually generic is the same thing just without the price of a brand name.

For me, I have never had a problem with the generic. However- I have never used the name brand. When I was on Obagi and used his private label product, it wasn't even name brand. Now, I have my Plastic Surgeon prescribe it. I would much rather have a ten dollar copay for a 45 gr. tube......then hundreds of dollars for a tube half the size.
But, everyone is different. QUOTE (V1ViD @ Jul 3 2009, 06:51 AM)  I'm also on Generic and I think so. Usually generic is the same thing just without the price of a brand name.
