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 August 1, 2008, 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:

  • Nisoldipine 20, 30, and 40mg: A generic equivalent for Sular tablets.
  • Divalproex 125, 250, and 500mg: A generic equivalent to Depakote tablets.
  • Omeprazole 40mg : A generic equivalent for Prilosec 40mg capsules. 
  • Lamotrigine 25, 100, 150, and 200mg: A generic equivalent for Lamictal tablets. 
  • Buproprion XL 150mg: A generic equivalent for Wellbutrin XL 150mg tablets. 
  • Eplerenone 25, 50mg: A generic equivalent for Inspra tablets.

New drugs are becoming available all of the time. These generic drugs are expected to be available soon at your neighborhood Publix Pharmacy. Please ask your Publix pharmacist or check with your doctor for more information regarding these drugs and their use:

  • Tacrolimus 0.5, 1, 5mg: A generic equivalent for Prograf capsules.

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.
