NO DOUBT GENERIC DRUGS ARE ALSO GOOD AS BRANDED ONE


Previously when generic drugs came to the market, they were considered as inferior quality drugs in comparison to properties and effects of the respective branded drugs. But the reality is rather opposite of the assumed fact. Characteristics, sturdiness, quality, and usage of generic drugs are exactly equivalent to the branded versions.

Generic Drug is a newly formed branch of pharmaceutical medicines, which are available in the market as a copy of original branded drug. For example Kamagra is a generic drug (generic Viagra) available in the market which is called to be the copy of Viagra. Generic drugs like Kamagra, Caverta, etc available in the market as generic version of Viagra has become famous more than the original brand name drug. Branded drugs were only affordable by the high class rich people and referred as the standard drugs, whereas common man was unable to buy the branded drugs because of the high cost.

Generic drugs are bioequivalent in pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties to the brand name drugs. The effects and time taken to show the effects by generic drugs is akin with the branded drugs. The only difference between the generic drugs and branded drugs is the name of the branded drug given by the pharmaceutical companies for the promotion of the drug. Though, it is mandatory for the manufacturers of generic drugs that they should use the same active constituent used by the brand name drugs and must maintain the equivalency of the generic version to its branded competitor meticulously.

The reasonably low cost of generic drugs is because manufacturers of generic drugs do not indulge in promotion, research, development, clinical trails, and advertisements. Generic drug manufacturers just copy the already approved formulae and produce the medicines.

Thus, generic drugs are efficient as the branded drugs.
Please be careful while purchasing these generic drugs in the market because bogus drugs are also sold in the market with a ‘generic’ tag. Prescription from the doctor is necessary for the buying the generic drugs. You can purchase generic drugs from your local vendor or you can also prefer online pharmacies that supply the safe generic drugs from different countries at the lowest possible price.

A generic drug contains the same active element as the original formulation. Generic drugs can save patients large costs.
