1. What are generic medicines?

Generic medicines are drugs that have the same active ingredients, strength, dosage form, and route of administration as the original branded drugs.
They are equally effective and safe, but often much more affordable because the companies making them don’t spend as much on research, marketing, and branding.

2. Are generic medicines as effective as branded ones?

Yes, absolutely!
Generic medicines must meet strict regulatory standards set by government authorities like the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) in India. They must demonstrate that they work in the body in the same way as the branded version.

3. Why are generic medicines cheaper?

Generic manufacturers don’t have to invest millions in drug discovery, research, or large-scale advertising.
They simply produce proven formulas — which means they can sell medicines at lower prices without compromising quality.

4. How can I be sure a generic medicine is safe?

Always buy medicines from reliable pharmacies like MedGenerics.in that source from licensed, verified manufacturers.
Also, check for approval from regulatory authorities and look for proper packaging, expiry dates, and batch numbers.

5. Do generic medicines have side effects?

Generic medicines have the same active ingredients as branded ones, so the side effects, if any, are usually the same.
Always consult your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any unusual symptoms after starting a new medicine.

6. Are all medicines available in generic form?

Not always.
Some newly invented medicines are protected by patents for a certain number of years. After the patent expires, other manufacturers can produce generic versions. Many commonly used medicines today have excellent generic alternatives.

7. Can I switch to a generic medicine on my own?

It's always best to consult your doctor or pharmacist before switching.
While the active ingredients are the same, certain inactive ingredients (like fillers or coloring agents) may differ slightly and could affect people with allergies or sensitivities.
