Frequently Asked Questions
Are generic drugs as safe and effective as brand-name drugs?
Yes. The FDA requires AB-rated generics to demonstrate bioequivalence — the same rate and extent of absorption as the brand. Efficacy and safety profiles are equivalent.
Why do generic drug prices still vary between pharmacies?
Each pharmacy negotiates different acquisition costs from wholesalers and applies its own mark-up. ScriptUnlock exposes this variation so patients can always pay the lowest available price.
What does "AB-rated" mean on a generic drug?
"AB-rated" is the FDA's designation confirming a generic is therapeutically equivalent to the brand. Always check that a generic is AB-rated before substitution.
Can ScriptUnlock help me find generics for all my medications at once?
Yes. Submit your full medication list and ScriptUnlock surfaces competitive bids for each drug. Bundled submissions often unlock additional pharmacy discounts.
How much do I typically save by choosing a generic?
The average generic saves 80–85% versus the brand-name equivalent. ScriptUnlock compounds these savings by ensuring you also get the lowest available generic price.
