Generic drugs can save you up to 80% on the cost of a prescription when compared with the brand name drug.

See how much you can save on your medications by using the FLRx Generic Drugs Calculator.

FLRx is the pharmacy benefits management division of Excellus Health Plan, a non-profit company that provides health insurances services in the western part of New York State.

If you cannot find your medication on the FLRx drug list, post a question in the Drug Forum and Dr. Mike will tell you if your medication has an available generic version and how much you can save.
