Kindly help me plz doctor
I am a male 31 years. For my high cholesterol my doctor prescribed me Novastat 20. I take it from last 2 years. But now Novastat 20 or any branded medicine of this composition is unavailable here. So i brought Rosuvastatin 20mg generic medicine from govt hospital fair price shop. I want to know this generic one are same work as novastat??? i am fear because price is so much difference. And on fair price shop generic medicine are not from same brand. For example this month they provide rosuvastatin 20( of brand A) other month they said brand A is not available, so they provide rosuvastatin 20(of brand B)... is it safe???

All the brands are the same, no brand is superior to others because it's the composition of medicine that acts on the body no matter which brand you use.
Next Steps
you can use different brands if the composition is good
Health Tips
better to use the same brand, if the price is High for some brands then go with a low price brand
