A St. Louis pharmacy benefit manager is using discounts to persuade more patients to switch to low-cost generic drugs.[@@]

Express Scripts Inc. has started a Zero Dollar Co-pay program for patients who take certain kinds of prescription drugs.

The program will waive co-payments for 6 months for eligible patients who shift to generic drugs from brand-name drugs.
