Q: Generic Imitrex at Walgreens here, too!

I've heard from several other states, and Walgreens here in Chula Vista, CA does have the generic for Imitrex!

I'm very, very glad for everyone, but still I love my Maxalt MLT that melts in your mouth which is now on my insurance co's formulary and I get it for $20/month.

I can take it with me and take it at the first sign of a migraine without looking for a drink to wash it down. It's good because I have always gotten headaches if I get just a little hungry which happens often and sometimes I forget to eat real, real often. They say I have a very overactive system.

I break Maxalt MLT in half and it works with no sleepiness and I have twice as many. I hope it goes generic soon also.

PCPerson,

Thanks for the Imitrex update!

I just checked the FDA site for info on Maxalt-MLT. The patent doesn't expire until 2012, so it will be a while before we see generic.

I was just told about it too. But, I was also told it was about $25.00 more for my co-pay portion. I am confused, thought generic was cheaper. ??
