Ways to Get What Your Doctor Prescribed
You and your healthcare provider found the dose of CONCERTA® that’s right for you. If your healthcare provider would like you to stay on brand CONCERTA®, here are 3 steps to help ensure you can get it from your pharmacy:
Ask your healthcare provider to indicate DAW (Dispense as Written) on your prescription. Without these instructions, your pharmacy may provide you with a generic version rather than brand CONCERTA®.
Let your pharmacist or mail-order pharmacy know that you and your healthcare provider prefer CONCERTA®.
Check your medication. Before leaving the pharmacy or as soon as your prescription arrives, take a pill out of the bottle. Make sure the pill says “alza” and your prescribed mg dose on it. If it doesn’t, let your pharmacist know you want CONCERTA® as your prescription says DAW, or Dispense as Written.
