I am so mad at my insurance company, United Health Care http://www.uhc.com. I wrote about needing to change prescriptions. Talking to my doctor's office today, they switched me to Arthrotec, http://www.rxlist.com/arthrotec-drug.htm which can be had in generic, DICLOFENAC SODIUM AND MISOPROSTOL. I checked with the insurance, and they said it went through.
So, I picked this up tonight. It cost more for me than the Celebrex cost me. The diclofenac is listed on the Wal-Mart $4 list, but not the combination medication. The misoprostol helps to protect your stomach.
I don't get it. The insurance will have me spend more money for a generic than I would spend with a brand name medication that was working.
I hope this works. It will be worth it if it does.
