I would appreciate some feedback from anyone that cares to respond. I am just fuming with the mail order pharmacy that I have! I had a heart attack in January, and my Doctors prescribed specific medications that I have been taking ever since. Some are monitored to insure the proper dosage, and we make adjustments based on the tests etc. My recovery has been going very well, and I feel great. I only missed three weeks of work following the heart attack, I have lost almost 40 pounds, and I feel much better since the MCI than I did before. Anyway to get to the point. The mail order pharmacy refilled my prescription for Plavix with the generic equivalent and I am incensed! It was cheaper for the Generic ($20 for 3 months), but I don't mind paying more for the original ($60 for 3 months) for what I consider to be one of my most critical medications. When I had the heart attack, they installed a stent into the Left Anterior Descending artery, and Plavix regulates platelets binding together to help with prevent clotting, which could cause a stroke or another MCI. When I called the mail order pharmacy, they said they had no choice that they were required to substitute generics whenever there is one available. I really feel strongly about not rocking the boat. What do you think? Am I over reacting?
