Your neighborhood Publix Pharmacy provides many varieties of brand-name and generic drugs. In general, generic drugs can mean a 30-60% savings, compared to their brand-name equivalent. These drugs must also meet stringent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, by containing the identical active ingredients and producing the same effect on the body. Generic drugs must be bioequivalent and have equal strength, quality, purity and potency as their brand-name counterparts. Check with your Publix pharmacist to see if a generic option is available and appropriate for your health needs.

Generic drugs can offer many benefits, including:

• commonly having a lower price than brand-name drugs.
• generally requiring a lower co-pay than their brand-name counterparts.
• containing the same active ingredients with the same effects as the brand-name equivalent.

Your Publix pharmacist understands that health and happiness go hand-in-hand and wants to help you and your family by being a vital part of your healthcare team.
