this is a common question i get at the pharmacy. the first thing i ask is if they have spoken with their doctor or health care provider about this and do they know you are having a hard time paying for your medications. if your conditions especially the asthma are being well controlled with the medications switching to a generic or another class of medications that has a generic may not be an optimal choice. if you get switched you may end up seeing the doctor more often or have more emergency room visits which in the end drives up health care costs. many of the companies have assistance programs so you may want to look at contacting merck and astrazeneca who manufacture the medications you are currently on.
i need to find generics to treat my asthma and high blood pressure. i have medicare advantage insurance. what can i try?
