Can we use generic medicine

2022-04-14 02:26:37
This is my question to all the doctors. Can we use generic medicine? Is it as useful as a brand medicine? Is it that it is less effective than a brand medicine?

Yes. You can use generic medicines. You may be aware that almost all top Pharma Companies in India have their Generic Division. In India Generic means that they are governed by different laws as far as Taxation system is concerned. So you buy Generic Medicine from top Pharma Companies.
