Get your health and finances back on track with these helpful tips and advice:
A generic medicine is the same as an existing brand-name originator medicine in dosage form, safety, and strength, quality, and performance characteristics. Generic medicines work the same as brand-name originator medicines, but tend to be cheaper. Your Clicks pharmacist can offer you a more affordable generic alternative, potentially saving you up to 30% on your medication compared to an originator medicine or even another more expensive generic medicine.
Your medical aid may also only pay for authorised chronic medication up to a certain level of cover, and higher priced medicines will use up your cover much faster. Your Clicks pharmacist can assist by dispensing the generic medicines that your medical aid pays for in full, which ensures your benefits last longer.
Note that this is applicable to medicine authorised by your medical aid, so it’s best to check your medical aid benefits for more information.
Filling your scripts at a pharmacy provider which is not on your medical aid’s preferred or designated provider list can lead to additional out of pocket medication costs or penalty co-payments. Clicks has partnered with most medical aids to ensure that you avoid these unnecessary co-payments and out of pocket expenses.
