People often think generic medicine is inferior.

人们通常认为普通的药物疗效也一般。

Many doctors saw an alternative: wider use of an older relative of Inspra, spironolactone, a generic medicine that costs less than 20 cents a day, versus about $133 a month for Inspra.

许多医生一经发现了替代依普利酮的药品，而且比依普利酮更早出产，应用面更广。它就是安体舒通。这种药每天只需花费不到20美分。同依普利酮每月大约133美元的用费相比，它实惠很多。

Is there a generic alternative to the medicine you're prescribing?

我该去看专科医生吗？药物有其他类别的选择吗？

The move may be from a name brand to a generic, but it also can be to a different medicine entirely.

虽然只是换了一种品牌，但这仍是完全不同的一种药。
