You can't make a generalisation. Some generic drugs are good, most of them are not. Some branded drugs are good, most of them are not. Ultimately it all comes down to your doctor.... Do you have a Doctor you can trust?

Even generics have a brand name over them. So it is branded generic.

If you want to get treated cheaply, no problem, go ahead. If you trust your doctor, even drinking water will also work.

Yes. If anyone says otherwise they don’t have any evidence. They probably take kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies
