Mine explained about the signing and always signs on the generic side
even if there is no generic.

I like my personal physician it's that dammed urologist who insists I
use Avodart instead of the generic. I'm friendly with my pharamacist
and she was the one who suggested the generic and asked if I would
mind if she contacted the urologist. She said the generic was just as
effective and would save me some $600 a year. With my brand name
meds I hit the donut hole by the end of March each year.
Apparantly the guy almost took her head off for suggesting it.
Frankly I don't thing I ever had a prostate problem and I read that the
PSA test is not always a reliable indicator.
Hope you're feeling better. :))
