Generic Drugs are capturing the minds of customers and manufacturers because of the profits they are making to both these classes. But a question still persists in the mind “Whether generic drugs are curse or blessing?” after getting the news about the inferior quality of generic drugs that can be harmful to your health. Both the good news and the bad news about the generic drugs are coming to us, but what to believe and what not to believe? Is the question, here is the answer which I will be giving to you with the help of the facts and information available.
Generic drugs came to the market nearly 80 years ago. During that period they were called as duplicate drugs or copied drugs of the original brand name drugs. But still they got the market support and started selling well. Here, the problem was raised by the original brand name manufacturer because they were losing their sales and hold over the market. Thus, the case was filed against the generic drug manufacturers. The result of the case was declared in the favor of generic drug manufacturer after checking the quality standards, effectiveness, and side effects of the drug. A rule was developed that generic drugs can be soled in the market only after the approval given by the Food and Drug Administration.
Thus, the generic drugs got the rebirth and the many companies entered in the market of generic drugs. The positive points regarding the generic drugs are cheap prices and best quality. The standard of the generic is nowhere less than the original brand name drug. Generic drug became famous in a short span of time. Both doctors and the patients preferred generic drugs. Insurers were also forcing the doctors to prescribe the generic drugs because it was saving lots of money. Suddenly their came a revolution and generic drugs became the leader in the market with the more sales than the original brand name drugs. Generic also became available worldwide because of the online pharmacies.
Here is another aspect of the generic drugs; profit was getting the more priority by the generic drug manufacturer over the quality and standards of the drug. Many fraud companies entered the market through the means of the internet and the spoiled the name of the generic drugs. These companies produced inferior quality of generic drugs and increased the danger to the health of the patient.
Please confirm the quality and ingredients of the generic drug before buying the medication. Please take the doctor’s prescription for buying the generic drugs. Don’t buy generic drugs from any banned websites.
Thus finally I will conclude that every tree has a branch which is having the infection. We can not cut the whole tree for that. Ultimately it is up to you have the fruit of that tree or not. But, I will always say generic drugs as a blessing to mankind because of numerous positive effects and very less negative effects.
