When my wife picked it up and gave it to me ....the doctor had substituted dermovate gel in place of enstilar
I went back and had a word with the pharmacist who insisted it was a generic version of enstilar.....I told her to check her facts before trying to palm me off with the gel ....I said look at the note from the hospital it clearly says enstilar foam
Had I not been a member here I would have accepted what she said
My doctor phoned that evening and said a new prescription was waiting for me
So I now have both
I know they contain the same ingredients ...but from what I've read here enstilar is easier to apply and seems to be absorbed better giving better results
Yes you were right to demand Enstilar. There is No officially recognised generic version of Enstilar and your pharmacist is wrong.
