More and more drugs enter the marketplace every day. But many of these drugs aren't really any different than the tried and true.
And many drugs have "generic" equivalents or alternatives. Generic drugs are essentially the same thing, but at a fraction of the cost. Using generic drugs save you money and help all of us keep our premiums lower.
Wellmark Tip: Ask your doctor or pharmacist if a generic is available for any medications you take.
