Olmin 20 (olmesartan): Ask your doctor before switching to a generic olmesartan, such as Olmighty/Olmetime or other olmesartan names, which are less expensive but have comparable effects. Zita 100 mg (probably rosuvastatin 10 mg or a statin): Consult your doctor about the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a generic rosuvastatin or an alternative statin (like atorvastatin).Diabetes-related Glicomate Trio: With a doctor's consent, you can utilize generic gliclazide-metformin combinations (like Glypen MF or something similar) as a less expensive option.
