Some patients prefer to pay for the brand - and we have a patient or two who have refused the generic ER all along. But most patients are totally okay with switching if it means their copay stays cheap - or gets even cheaper! I'm not sure where the doctors in your area fall on the matter of switching, but that's what we're doing at my McDruggie's. (and, yes, like others have said, we've been able to get the Mallinckrodt in stock as well, but there is definitely no way to predict what'll be coming in week-to-week)Liz RPhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984941970773748008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768592003130681982.post-85623290936866917722009-04-02T07:10:00.000-07:002009-04-02T07:10:00.000-07:00I feel your pain.
