Generic Drug Plans

When it comes to medication, some people are leery about using generic drug plans. There is often a belief that the brand-name drug is better or more effective than its no-name counterpart. In fact, generic medications are equal in every way, except when it comes to cost.

Like brand-name medications, generic drugs are strictly regulated and must be equivalent to the brand-name versions in safety, quality, strength and performance. Unlike brand-name medications, however, generic drugs will not cost you a small fortune. People with insurance often don't consider the cost difference between medications, but if you are paying for your drugs out of pocket, you will discover that generic drugs are significantly cheaper.

Save Even More With a Generic Drug Plan

Generic drugs offer even better savings when used with a pharmacy discount plan. With your PS Card, some no-name medications are discounted as much as 80 percent. With over 10,000 generic medications available, you will be able to fill your prescriptions at a drastically lower cost.

Some chains, such as Wal-Mart and Target, have lowered their prices on generic medications, selling them at a loss. This is great if you only need the medications that are being sold cheaply. The advantage of a PPA prescription card like the PS Card is that it offers you discounts on all 14,000 FDA-approved prescription medications, not just a selected few. Simply remember to take your PPA card every time you go to the pharmacy. The PS Card is a completely free discount drug card.
