๐ ORIGINAL VS GENERIC MEDICINES โ WHATโS THE DIFFERENCE? ๐
Many people think generic medicines are โfakeโ or less effective. The truth is: GENERIC MEDICINES ARE NOT FAKE. โ
โ๏ธ Originator (original) brands are the first medicines developed by a pharmaceutical company after many years of research, testing, and clinical trials.
โ๏ธ Generic brands contain the SAME active ingredient, strength, safety, quality, and effectiveness as the original brands.
So why are originator brands usually more expensive? ๐ค
๐น The original manufacturer spends huge amounts of money on:
โข Research and development
โข Clinical trials and safety studies
โข Marketing and branding
โข Patent protection and innovation costs
Once the patent expires, other manufacturers are allowed to produce generic versions, making them more affordable for patients.
The differences between originals and generics may include:
๐ธ Brand name
๐ธ Packaging
๐ธ Tablet color or shape
๐ธ Price
But approved generic medicines still work just as effectively when used correctly. ๐ฏ
At Sabet Pharmacy, we stock BOTH trusted originator brands and quality generic brands to give our clients safe, effective, and affordable treatment options. ๐ค
