Who doesn’t like free samples? But it turns out that – in the case of prescription drugs handed out by doctors, at least – free samples can end up costing you in the long run. For one thing, your doctor might not give you the best drug for your particular illness because he has samples of a different drug. Plus, after their samples of a name-brand drug run out, doctors tend to continue to prescribe it. And if you don’t ask if a cheaper generic version is available, you’ll be stuck paying the higher price.
