The Similar Product Price Comparison report (SPPC) is a list of possible alternatives to the drug you entered.  The list includes generic products and other brand products that are often used to treat the same symptoms.  The SPPC report makes a best-guess at adjusting the quantity for each alternative (lower strength requires a higher quantity) so the results are comparable.  The SPPC report also shows the highest you would pay for each alternative if you purchase through www.BidRx.com.  The final price could be (and usually is) less when each pharmacy makes their bid.

The alternatives listed in the SPPC report are only suggestions.  You should print this report, take it to your doctor and discuss with him/her if any of the lower priced alternatives is appropriate for you.  You'll have to get a new prescription if you change products.

Doctors are very busy people.  They don't always know when new drugs are introduced or when a generic form becomes available.  They are concerned with what the drug does, not what it costs.  Don't hesitate to ask your doctor about the alternative products.  Most doctors are more tha happy to help you save money, as long as your condition is being taken care of.
