I get the real thing. I didn't notice if my doctor checked the do not substitute or not. hmmmm !!! Cris Re: Saw my NP today--WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT GENERICS My bosses cardiologist says this very same thing. He was given a generic bp med, and it just flat didn't work well for him at all.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 hmmmm ok - I just looked at my script. I had requested, I guess, brand necessary. That is check marked. now - I just had a script for armour phoned in. I had asked to have them check brand necessary, but I don't know if that is what they checked or not. I've never used the mail order pharmacy for it in the past, so I can't verbally request it. Holding my breath now....
