[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 716534, member: 124172"] I had a similar issue with my BP pills - they couldn't get my normal 80mg so the chemist gave me 2x40mg instead which resulted in an allergic reaction with my skin becoming extremely dry and itchy and anti histamines and emollient skin cream prescribed to clear it. Generics by their nature are cheaper which is why the NHS uses them and I guess they take the gamble that if 1 out of a 100 react it's still more cost effective to treat side effects as they occur than prescribe an expensive drug in the first place.
