Publix Pharmacy Generic Drugs

Generic Drugs

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.

As of July 1, 2010, the following generic drugs are now available at your local Publix Pharmacy. Please speak with your Publix pharmacist for complete details about these drugs and their use:

Losartan 25, 50, 100mg tablets: A generic equivalent for Cozaar tablets.
Losartan/HCTZ 50-12.5, 100-12.5, 100-25mg tablets: A generic equivalent for Hyzaar tablets.
