When to consider an alternative to Epiforce P

Switching is a decision to make with your prescriber, not on your own. People most often look for a substitute for one of a few reasons — and the right alternative depends on which one applies:

• Tolerability. If bothersome or serious reactions are the problem, review the side effects of Epiforce P first — a same-class option often shares them, so a different class may be the better move.
• Interactions. If a new prescription clashes with your current regimen, check Epiforce P's known drug interactions before choosing a replacement.
• Cost or availability. A generic or same-class medicine may deliver the same benefit at a lower cost tier or without a shortage.
• Effectiveness. If Epiforce Pisn't controlling your condition, a different mechanism of action may work where this one fell short.
