Our formulary is a preferred list of drugs selected to meet patient needs at a lower cost. ADVANTAGE Health Solutions, Inc. covers both brand name drugs and generic drugs. Generic drugs have the same active-ingredient formula as a brand name drug. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand name drugs and are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as brand name drugs.
