>It anyone using the generic Sinemet? Does it work the same. Our insurance >has just started a new program. Meds listed on their list are $12.00 per >month, but the Sinemet ,which it now available in the generic type, was >$21.83. If you request the generic then it is $12.00. Nancy B cg for Don >63/13. > Helena, MT > [log in to unmask] Peter has been using generic Sinemet with no problems, for several years. It is called "carbidopa-levodopa" by our supplier, Merck-Mecco (mail order). He now uses the 10/100 tabs., but was also on 25/100 and 25 /250 at various times. We are VERY lucky that our Aetna insurance (thru the Ohio Public Retirement system) charges NOTHING for generic drugs of any kind...I just sent in 3 RXs, and all were FREE! The price difference you mention, however, is also good, and you may want to try the generic form....some folks on the list in the past have had less positive experiences,and said there might be a difference among generics, with some working less well.
