RE :”Some brand name/non formulary BC that women use for medical issues is big $$$. $3000 over 3 years is not out of the norm.’

Thanks.
That sounds like what they are talking about. Is this because the generic $9 pills are not effective for those women or that they cause side effects for them?

Could you elaborate?

My GF was on BC for a medical issue (fibroids in her tubes???), can't remember the name of the drug as she is no longer on it. Not sure of the drug cost but she paid a $70-75 monthly copay for it as it was non formulary drug.

Yes, I would presume the generics were not effective because that is what the doc prescribed.
