Medco Distributes More Generics Than Brand Names

Medco Health Solutions, Inc., the nation's largest pharmacy benefits manager, has announced that they are now distributing more generic medication than brand-name medication. This trend is significant because it shows that consumers are switching to generics in an effort to save on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are concerned that their brand-name drugs are losing their market share and are sure to feel the impact financially as a result.
