    I mostly buy generic. The only time I've really stuck to what the doctor put on the script is if I ever need a thrush cream, as I'm allergic to many of the preservatives and non-active ingredients in every other cream except this particular one.

    It's insane the price difference isn't it? I'm on medication which last a month, the generic costs me just less than $18 and the branded is just over $40 for the same amount!!

    I usually always buy generic brands. I don't see the point in spending the big $$ when you can buy something for less that works exactly the same.

    I know! Even down to panadol vs panamax. I feel for people like my IL's who don't speak ENglish and always just get what the Dr says.
