    Dr. Here, the problem with generics is not safety, rather less effective. By quality of medicine we mean whether a generic drug will have the same amount of effect on the patient as compared to branded drugs which have shown efficacy for several years. Yes there are deals made between docs and companies, but those are the bad apples among the many docs who practice with integrity. Next time if a doc prescribes you a branded drug, you can ask them to give a cheaper branded drug & no doctor will say no to your request. The problem is quality checks are not made on companies manufacturing generic drugs hence we doctors put the patients well being and recovery over the cost of the medicine. A healthy discussion with your doctor is recommended over simply accusing doctors of deals.

      BTW don't get me wrong, But If you are a Doc with moral values and ethics (Which most don't have and I also don't know anything about you) but still if it is then I must have to congrats you for your service to our nation..🙏🙏

    I bought a three month stock of medicine for my maid's mother who is a heart patient but after careful research and replacing almost the whole prescription with generic medicine.
    Don't worry I cross referenced it with the doctor and he approved it too.

Also check online for alternate brands of medicines prescribed to you and then check which company manufactures them and what is their current reputation. In my case I said almost because except Metoprolol Succinate and Asprin tablets, ther rest were from private pharmacies so technically they were "branded generic".
      You can also try to find the PMBI or Jan aushadhi kendra in your area which are usually stocked with generic or branded generic alternative but ensure their expiry dates in small town areas.

    I believe there's a significant issue in India regarding this matter. During my internship in the US, I noticed that the majority of prescribed medicines were generic. When you visit a pharmacy to purchase them, they inquire if you prefer generic or branded options. I was also involved with a charitable hospital where all medicines were provided free of cost. This experience was enlightening because I didn't have to memorize various brand names. As for effectiveness, I believe the FDA in the US is doing an excellent job in maintaining quality standards. I wish India had a similar system in place. While there are regulatory bodies in India, sometimes their rules and regulations can be cumbersome and challenging to navigate.

    As a pharmacist, it is impossible to sell generic drugs in India, because, 90% of medical shops in India are run without pharmacists,,, pharmacists rent their registration to that pharmacy shop, and most of the people who sit in medical shops do not have basic idea about the MOA of these medicines. They only know the brand names of drugs and their uses,,

    Last year my mother in law got admitted in a hospital. She was given 2 injection meropenem and fosfomycin daily.
    According to the hospital policy, all medicine are charged at mrp only. So, both injections were getting charged at mrp only daily cost of which comes to around 9000. One was marked at 3085 and the other one around 6000.
    It was getting difficult for us to maintain such daily expenses. The doctor in a good will asked us to get discharged and take these injection at home via private nurses.
    We did so. I went to one of my friends who owns a chemist shop.
    I was shocked to see that the 3000 priced medicine was provided by him for around 300 and the 6000 one for 900..!!!! and that too of a good reputed company.

    So if a person can afford the branded drug should go for that and be honest with themselves and the merchants regarding that

    Pharmacists usually have huge margins in most of the medicines, that's why you'll see huge discounts on mrp on online pharmacies while offline stores charge exact mrp. There are some good shops in my city which share this margin with customers by offering discounts but most chemist shops don't. There was also a rule that chemists have to sell drugs/medicines either by i) adding only a specific percentage of profit margin on the prices they got the drugs or ii) the mrp of medicine, which ever is lower.

    I'm a doctor from Odisha. We have guidelines to write only Generic Drugs and only which are available at Niramaya (State Govt owned) at State Govt hospitals (Not sure about AIIMS). Which is followed strictly, with periodic inspection. Except in emergency room and ward, where Govt supplied drugs (Injections) are given by nurse.
    In private a doctor can write non generic drugs.
    That makes medical students at govt setup follow only generic names, and we are mostly unaware of famous brands.
    But once I will be an established doctor, with Private practice, I shall write branded drugs (at private setup only, Unless some strict law comes into force). Of course after judging financial status of my patient.
    Doctors are not God. They have their business. Gods can't be sued, but Doctor can be sued at consumer court. Also you can kill a doctor, unlike a god.
    I'm glad that the mandated generic drug prescription is on hold, as of now.

    Ask some who work on a medical suppliers or a MR like me.
    A paracetamol In generic name will cost 3 to 5rs per strip(for 10 tab to 15tab) with MRP of 20Rs.
    Then the retailer will pay him that and can sell it on MRP.
    But if the retailer cut the strip and mix this with some other medicine the price can be 3 times more.

    Not a doctor, pharmacist, medical student, etc.
    My opinion as a normal person who bought generic medicine for a family to be more on point it was sugar (diabetes medicine) so the branded med cost around ₹110 where if you look for generic med it was less ₹20 so I bought them but it turned put the effectiveness of generic meds was very less. As there was no improvement we switched to branded one.
    So, in the end I would say if you can afford branded meds go for them

    If its more that two, then continue with the branded, unless its generic version is available.
