Check with the pharmacy if you were issued generic versions where previously you got the brand name. I recently had this happen to me where there is a law now that that says substitutions of a alternate (generic) version of a drug is required if available. CVS claimed they had to use the generic in all cases where as looking into it more MA .gov pages would imply that is true only if the generic is cheaper (Source). In my case, a dry power inhaler went from $30 for the brand name to something like $64 for the generic. I was able to get them to try and get the brand name back at the original price and they were able to.

I appreciate this! I have been on the generic this whole time, but I may ask them to price the brand name with my next fill, cause when I did it myself on their site (which who knows if it’s even accurate) it was actually cheaper for the brand name than it was for the generic.
