    The specialty pharmacy my insurance company uses asked me if I wanted to switch to generic Gilenya and I said no because I am enrolled in Gilenya Go and don't have a co-pay.They said that eventually my insurance company will probably require patients to switch to generic to save money. I just saw that the Supreme Court ruled against Novartis in a patent dispute and a Chinese company is manufacturing generic fingolimod. I'll probably start looking at other DMTs.
