LIXIPRO, BONIVA, PLAVIX, AVAPRO DRUGS WILL SOON BE IN GENERIC FORM

The following excerpt is from an FDA e-mail: 
Generic versions of several popular brand-name drugs are muscling their way onto the prescription shelves. Generic equivalents of Lexipro (escitalopram)used to treat depression and generalized anxiety disorder; Boniva (ibandronate) to prevent and treat osteoporosis; Plavix (clopidogrel) used to prevent strokes and heart attacks; and Avapro (irbesartan) used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure, are appearing soon with others to follow.
