Wholesale Generic Medicine Suppliers

Generic medicines work the same as brand-name medicines

A generic medicine is simply an alternative brand. It contains the same active ingredient as the original brand in the same dose and strength and it's absorbed into the body at the same rate.

Types of generic drugs:-

There are two ways generic drugs are used: 

1. Generic substitution:- Generic prescribing is the prescribing of a drug by a physician using the generic name. This leaves the choice of brand to the dispensing pharmacist. A generic substitution is a pharmacist-initiated act by which a different brand or an unbranded drug product is dispensed instead of a drug brand that was prescribed by the physician.

2. Therapeutic interchange:- Therapeutic substitution is a pharmacist-initiated act by which a pharmaceutical or therapeutic alternate for the physician-prescribed drug is dispensed without consulting the physician.

Are generic prescription medicines effective :-

A generic prescription medicine works in the same way as the existing medicine. What matters is the active ingredient, which is the same in the generic brands and the existing brand.

All medicines will have the same potential health benefits and the same potential side effects. Some active ingredients are only effective for some patients and this will be the case whether you use the original or generic medicine.

Pros And Cons Of Generic Drugs:- 

Let’s look at some of the pros and cons of generic medication below.

Pros:- 

  1. Cheaper prices:- The main reason to buy generic drugs by so many people is that they are so much cheaper than brand name drugs. Brand name drugs require research and testing that take a lot of time and money, but generic drugs only need to copy what already exists, saving them the cost and allowing the price to stay low.

   2. Bioequivalent:- Biologically speaking, generic drugs must meet strict guidelines so that the same amount of active ingredient is delivered to the body at the same time, and used by the body, in the same way as the brand name product.

  3. FDA approved:- The FDA sets stringent guidelines and performs research on generic drugs to make sure that they are bioequivalent to the brand name.

Cons: 

  1. Contamination:- Generic drugs are often produced in factories in countries like India, China, or other areas with cheap labor and overhead. The conditions at these factories have sometimes contaminated drugs, leading to recalls in the United States. To be fair, however, there have been a handful of cases where even US-based brand name medications had similar issues although probably not nearly as often.

  2. Oversights:- According to a report by the Government Accountability Office, these foreign factories sometimes escape rigorous FDA inspections, dodge documentation of their practices, and don’t receive follow-up monitoring even when serious manufacturing or drug-handling problems have been identified. Usually, only one manufacturer produces a brand name drug whereas several manufacturers can produce a generic drug. 

   3. Mixing up the pills:- As brand medications typically have a consistent “branded” look to them that patients can get familiar and comfortable with, generics often do not look as familiar or it is not as obvious what each pill is.  Furthermore, when a prescription is refilled, if the medication is made by a different generic manufacturer and has a different appearance, this can lead to medication confusion and errors or even patients not taking the pills they are prescribed.
