My doc had me on Lipitor for which no generic is available for consumers yet. At $50/30 pills, I'd skip doses often. Then I received a letter from the military insurance managers that told me information I did not know - there is no generic for Lipitor, but there are meds that do the job and have generics or cheaper prices. Three names were provided, one of which was Lovastatin, and 2 of those were covered in the $4/30 day and $10/90 day supplies. I'll always ask my doctor for a generic version or generic substitution for any brand-name now. The money we've spent on Lipitor... GRRRR!
