Many patients stop taking generic medications because they don't understand they're the same as brand-name drugs. Closing this knowledge gap with clear communication saves lives, reduces hospital visits, and cuts healthcare costs.

Generic drug competition drives prescription prices down by up to 97% when multiple manufacturers enter the market. Buyers like Medicare use this to negotiate lower brand-name drug costs, but patent delays and pay-for-delay deals threaten the system.

Mail-order generics offer convenience and cost savings for chronic meds, but hidden risks like temperature damage, pricing markups, and lack of pharmacist oversight can threaten your health. Know the truth before you order.
