Ask Your Physician for Generic Drugs

Save some money and get well! Tell your physician to prescribe older medications or generic.

Remember, pharmaceutical companies are businesses who are obligated to make money for their shareholders. Drug representatives give physicians samples of the new and more expensive medicines. However, most of these new medicines are no better than existing medicines but have been 'tweaked' to allow for a new patent and a higher price.
