I would check with ChatGPT. I realized that since I turned 65, most of my meds can be acquired for free via SUS. Further, there are meds that are not covered by SUS for 65+ residents (example: ADHD meds). A google search or ChatGPT search will reveal several very low cost generic alternates that are not well known but have the same formulation as the name brands.
