A medical question:
My government insurance (Medicaid)
requires generic substitutes
for "brand names," and I have no choice,
unless I pay out-of-pocket.
The most recent refill of my "generic"
carbidopa/l-dopa 25/100 prescription
was composed of pills that were drier,
and slightly paler than usual-like a
faded lemon pastel color, but strangely
chalky.
They have not worked as quickly,
nor have they lasted as long. I do not
know whether it is PD or the pills or
something else that made them noticeably
different.
The pharmacist just told me that
the generic brand is actually an Israeli drug company's
product. The company is Teva.
Does anyone have comments or
suggestions on what you might do next?
