alternativedrug for this drug that aetna pays for ## None of them, doesn't matter what you get, they will send the same letter after you get the next scrip filled twice and make you change again or get special authorization. Same thing happened to my husband on Aetna. They switched him from this to Prevacid, no on his second fill of the Prevacid, they sent the same letter. So what happened to their thing if you got it filled in the first month, you could continue to get it, no questions or denials, for the first year?
