Here’s two sites which will help you find cheaper generic alternatives to brand-name prescriptions:

crbestbuydrugs.org

More detailed, run by Consumer Reports, and includes information about effectiveness. No registration required.

rxaminer.com

Just enter the pricier drug or your condition and it returns possible matches. Requires free registration.

These sites are for research purposes only. Before making any switch, present the findings to your doctor for approval.
