Hi Collette--
I had a prescription for generic Prozac filled yesterday (Texas). All generic versions of a med are labeled only with the generic compound's name, which in this case, is fluoxetine hydrochloride. (Fluvoxamine maleate's trade name is Luvox--irritatingly, unnecessarily similar generic names, since they're chemically unrelated.) The cost was a few cents more than $2/20 mg. capsule--not a huge saving. The price will plummet when Barr Lab's generic exclusive expires in 6 mos.
Well wishes---medlib
