My insurance company no longer uses the Sandoz manufacturer

Posted , 3 users are following.

I've been on fluoxetine for years and thru process of elimination I have found Sandoz works the best. My insurance company just informed me they are discontinuing use that that manufacturer. I now have to choose from PAR, TEVA, FUN, or Aurobindo?? Does anyone have a good or bad experience with any of these manufacturers?

    I can't see what difference it would make. The active ingredient is the same for all of them, being Fluoxetine. Different pharmacutical companies sell it with their own fancy names, but in essence it's all the same.

    ( Just like Paracetamol = Dymadon® = Lemsip® = Panadol® = Panamax® = Tylenol® etc. ......)
