Let's say you have very sensitive skin and tend to itch a lot, for years you have been trying different products to no avail. You finally find a brand that works for you and you get it at your local pharmacy.
But this one time you go to the pharmacy and they are all out. The pharmacist recommends another product which he says is just as good, but you know how hard it was for you to find this brand to work.
Do you buy the other brand and hope for the best?
or do you go elsewhere?
Let's say the only other pharmacy that carries your brand is all the way across town,
would you go if you had car?
what if you had to take two buses to get there, would you go?
or just buy the new brand that you haven't tried before?

I would have first been familiar with what the active and inactive ingredients in my special cream. I would decide about the purchase of a new brand by reading the label. Other things that I would consider would be whether or not the substitute had a fragance or something else that would irritate me.

If I can get away with using another brand I'll use it but if I know I HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN BRAND, I'll take the two busses across town to get it. Where I live, it takes two busses to get just about anywhere. Here in AZ it would be harder, because there is NO transportation available to me, so I'd probably have to make due with what is there. I'm lucky that there isn't any ESSENTIAL brand I need.

I'd buy the brand I hadn't tried before first. If it wasn't effective, then I'd go traipsing all over town to getthe product that I know works, and would stock up on as much as possible.
