Yup, Jaysay, I work at Boots, am still learning ( and there is a lot to learn!) but that 's one of the bits I have picked up so far; disreputable pharmacists can and do give out generics and claim for the branded ones, it costs us all more money in the long run. It's a bit like insisting on buying Nurofen when a non branded ibuprofen contains jut the same ingredients for less than half the price.
