No, I am pre pharm. I'm sure I have a lot to learn. Am I being ******ed?
Regardless, I don't think its right to flat out lie to people.
That's why I was curious what the deal was with forcing generics on people. I personally wouldn't mind a generic, would actually prefer, (for cost) but I just think it's kinda strange that people would say "out of stock" and give generic instead, if the script is for name brand specifically. I guess I never knew how that worked. Care to enlighten? I wasn't being sarchastic earlier, I really did want to know!
Also, my husband's grandmother died of a stroke a few years back.... She was on BP meds... I don't know the particular one but she'd been on the same one for a long long time. Anyhow, they switched her to generic for some reason (or maybe they switched her from generic to name brand.... I'm not sure-- it was one way or the other) Anyhow she died of a stroke the next day. Was it the switch in medication that triggered it? I don't know. But it makes me wonder. I'm not saying the quality of the generic is any different, but the fillers, preservatives, etc can be. Does that make any difference? probably not 99.99999% of the time. But I still am curious.
