Generic when not generic available?

Posted by Hygieia's Bowl on August 29, 2008, at 20:29:54

I am at a loss to understand how a generic of a med which is otherwise not out of patent and is not available from the "usual" generics companies can be found in an internet pharmacy?
Uh, how?
The active ingredient as compounded belongs to the formulators until the patent expires or a legal action, correct?
My med's patent expires in like 2000 and teens. I have kept up with the going-ons regarding my med and info regarding generic status.... Yet, a well-meaning someone sent me a link to a site - not in my country, the US - which offers bargain basement pricing on this med as a generic. This site does claim to require a script or other proof of precribing....
I'm not interested in the: "The prices are amazing..." place but I would like to know how one could really be getting a generic that's yet to be a generic as I understand it.
Could it be real or is it a whodo?
