If a generic is proposed to
you?
If you ordered with the online drug
store, for example generic viagra, do not be surprised to receive medications
with a different name. Since generic are bioequivalent (made of the same active
chemical elements) to branded pills, but just named differently. Popular and
known drugs are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies-inventors, and generic
are manufactured by other companies, after patent terms are out.
From a physician's point of view, generic drugs are better than branded prescription
medications, for their chemical composition and way of taking are maximally
well studied. Means generic drugs are more reliable and safe drugs. Accordingly,
risks of eventual side effects are set up to the minimum for the manufacturer.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) controls the quality of all medications.
Before allowing any manufacturer to start clinical tests generics or prescription
medications must be registered at the FDA. More over pills can be on sale only
they were approved. The methods of control used by the FDA are so strict that
not more 1/5 of drugs are approved.
Who manufactures generic drugs?
Make sure to first know who manufactures the prescription medications, you
intend to purchase. For example, if the generic viagra, proposed by the online
drug store, is manufactured in India, means it is a quality and good generic.
It is known that India — is the biggest and reliable manufacturer of generics.
Large parts of generics are made in India. Among them we can name drugs for
depression, prescription diet pills, sleeping pills, blood pressure medication,
birth control pills, pain medication, slimming pills, asthma medication, impotence
medication, stop smoking medication, arthritis medication and many other pills.
How much high quality prescription drugs and generics cost?
Be aware of purchasing too cheap prescription drugs. Keep in mind the fact
that no one will sell regardless of the profits! That's why any reliable online
drug store will never sell quality medication at the same prices it purchases
pills from manufacturers. Thus more the online drug store, whose prices for
drugs are closed to the prices proposed by other stores. If you find a site
where prices are considerably lower than usual — do not hurry to purchase. More
probably, you do will receive poor quality prescription medications and do will
loose your money.
However show attention when purchasing generic and not branded pills! Thus
manufacturing and advertising generics is substantially less expensive than
doing the same with branded pills, that's why generics are always cheaper! A
generic can cost 10, 20 or even 50 times lower than its equivalent branded drug.
That's why prices for one generic must be compared only to the prices for another
generic, and to the ones for branded pills. If you find on an online drug store
generic at a quite lower price than on other stores — make the choice in favor
of the usual, common price which justifies itself.
