> > Looking in that Electronic Orange Book, I find that the name brand for Ativan is BIOVAIL, and the generic lorazepams are MUTUAL PHARM, MYLAN, PUREPAC PHARM, RANBAXY, SANDOZ, and WATSON LABS.
> ***** biovail is #1, then purepac, sandoz, watson and mylan are tied. go for bioval. all the best, chemist ********CVS still lists it as from Wyeth. I had realized that a change of hands had occured. E.g. the news
"Biovail Acquires Ativan and Isordil from Wyeth" seen at
http://www.biovail.com/english/Investor%20Relations/Latest%20News/default.asp?s=1&state=showrelease&releaseid=417652A related question would be if I could only get 1/3 of the refill with Wyeth, and the remaining 2/3 of the order the generic?
If the name brand is found to be more powerful, I almost wouldn't want to have a full refill worth, if I was going to decide to stick with the generic, possibly. But that might make the order too complicated....
