Those of us who have health insurance generally get away with just paying whatever the "co-pay" is, not the full price. I checked one month, and there was a $700+ difference between what I paid in copays for my medication, and what I would pay without insurance.

And yes, I get generics whenever they are available. Laura, if you have a pharmacist that you trust, he or she may be able to find out, by calling the manufacturer's reps, what the difference is between Flo-nase and the generic. I - with all my allergies - have always used the generic with no trouble. But explain to the pharmacist that it caused an anaphlactic type reaction, so finding the answer is very important.

I have a pharmacist that I really trust - if the other one is on duty, I'll wait to ask my question until the good one is in.
