Generic medicine
Hello sir/mam,
As we know lots of generic medicine are available in market and online. I want to know all the generic medicine having same Salt composition and different brand are effective and safe. For example if I take Glimepiride tablet from zeelab pharmacy I get it in 10 rupees as compared to Cipla or sun pharmaceutical which cost me 50 rupees.
So can we go for any generic medicine or should we stick with brand?

Stick to the branded medicine..they have best results and no adverse reactions..few reports skin rashes or any allergic reaction to the generic ones ..for few the generic medicines did not reduce the sugars...and when same dose branded medicine was given definitely the results were good...
So not only what we wear is important,what we take inside our precious body is most important ...After all if Health is there...much more can be achieved in life..
