Generics are made for the same use as brand-name medication, with the same active ingredient and the same quality, dosage, and strength. Any difference is usually superficial, in colouring or flavouring.

Generics are cheaper than brand-name because brand-name medications are the first to create their particular medicinal mix. Hence why they get to put their name on it. However, part of being first means you gotta run a ton of tests and trials before it can go to market, which are pricey and up the product cost. For accessibility and healthy competition reasons, generics are allowed to skip that work, take the final results of all those tests — the same product the brand sells — and sell it for much cheaper. That way, consumers aren’t stuck in a market with only a few, crazy-expensive options.

Side effects with our hair treatment are rare, but if you haven’t used medicated hair treatments before your skin may be sensitive to it. Some people may experience irritation, stinging, or redness in the beginning. These effects should lessen with continued use, as your skin gets used to the new product. If not, you can always message our medical team through your account to discuss other options.

We offer a wide variety of proven treatments, so you’ll always find the right one for you. We ship it to you for free and offer a subscription model (you get a bit of a discount, and you don’t have to remember to refill!). You’ll never pay more than you would at a pharmacy. It’s simple, easy, and with insurance coverage, can be as low as $0. What’s not to love?

We accept all insurance: public and private. If you have a drug plan that covers prescription drugs, your out-of-pocket fees may decrease significantly. Many Health Spending Accounts also cover costs for medication. You will be provided with a receipt to use for your claims.

For questions about using your insurance to pay, please mention that you have insurance when the pharmacy contacts you – we will refund any portion covered by your plan.

You can also find out what your plans covers by contacting your insurer, or emailing our pharmacy at pharmacy@jill.health.
