I think it is a bunch of bull about generics not being as good as brand.

That comes to 50 dollars compared to 400 dollars. What's the deal? Is cellcept putting some kind of pressure on doctors to do that since the generic is out and they will probably lose millions. I don't appreciate the scare tactics just to make a buck. Needless to say, I'm going with generic, even though my doctor is not happy about it. Too Bad. I'm just not buying that story. Has anyone heard that?
