I'm so mad at our doctor...

I've found my pharmacist to be extremely helpful. My doc gave me a script for an allergy med. I was stunned by the cost when I picked it up, at which point the pharmacist told me the OTC version was prescription strength and the drug store's generic brand was on sale. I bought four months worth for less than the one month prescript version.

Also, I've found ordering drugs from Canada online to be a cost savings in some instances. For example, I was on Zyrtec (allergy), and no generic was available in the U.S. It was available, however, OTC in Canada. I bought 96 tablets of the generic OTC in Canada for what a 30-day supply would have cost with the U.S. prescription. I tend to use canadapharmacy.com.

Finally, you can also save money if your insurance offers a mail-delivery of prescription drugs. This is ideal for maintenance drugs, like birth control, allergies, etc.

Well I hate that that happened to you. I go to CVS now and I love them. They gave me a name brand the other day because they were out of the generic and I was only charged the gneric copay.
