Generic Drug Alert

For those of you out there keeping score...

Several months ago Fosamax (osteoporosis) went generic, and is now known as alendronate. This past week two more drugs went generic: Risperdal (schizophrenia) and Yasmin (birth control), now risperidone and Ocella, respectively. Depakote (bipolar disorder, epilepsy, migrane) should be going generic before the end of the year; I think it will be called valproate.
