Generic Names Are Important!

A very important part of getting your comparison done correctly and accurately is to be sure you have the GENERIC name of your brand name drugs, if you are actually taking the generic form.

For instance, you may have always referred to your prescription by the brand name such as Lasix, but you take the generic form called Furosemide. You must give the generic name for your comparison to be beneficial to you.

My suggestion is to make a list using your prescription bottles to get the correct spelling of your medications. If the name is abreviated and you don’t understand what it is, call your pharmacy and ask. This will insure you recieve the most accurate comparison and you will save the most money on your prescriptions.

When you go to our website, www.MyPartDusa.com, November 15th thru December 31st you can enter in the names of your medications. If you misspell them or there is a question you can click on the drug name and a pull down box with the drug names will appear for you to select the correct name. This will help you make sure that you are giving us the exact drug name you need to compare.
