Debate Over Brand Name vs Generic Prescriptions
The Gastonia Gazette reports on prescription drug pricing and the choice between brand name and generic drugs. Doctors often prescribe by brand, while generics offer lower costs for patients. Prices vary by drug, with generics sometimes undercutting name brands, and pharmacists noting insurance and procurement effects on what is stocked and sold.
