Saving With Generic Drugs (NAPSA)—Thebest prescription for cutting medical costs may be to switch to generic drugs. That’s the advice of doctors who say generic versions of prescription drugs deliver the exact same medication—in the same way—as their brand-name counterparts. Pn Ls 4 a. R ‘ 7 f Generic drugs can save con- sumers significant money. So how much money can gener- ics save a person? In the case of one commonly prescribed epilepsy medication, it could be a significant amount. IVAX Gabapentin Tablets are a lower-cost, FDA-approved generic equivalent to the brandname drug called Neurontin Capsules which are manufactured by Pfizer, Inc. The generic version of the drug is available in 100 mg, 300 mg and 400 mg tablet strengths. “Neurontin prescription holders will save money by switching to IVAX Gabapentin Tablets,” says Rafick Henein, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of IVAX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. “The savings are in the form of lower co-payments for the 80 percent whose prescriptions are covered by their health insurance—and even more for those who pay for the drug out of their own pockets.” For more information and full prescribing information, visit www.gabapentintablets.com or call (800) 327-4114.
