Abstract

Generic drug substitution can markedly decrease the cost of health care. For conditions where agents have a relatively narrow therapeutic index, notably epilepsy, financial savings through generic substitution might be offset by increases in patient complications and related costs. Results from a study with topiramate support this view, particularly when a patient receives a drug from multiple manufacturers.
