Example Product with Generic Substitutes

Trusted by Experts

Doctors approve — substitutes are just as effective.

“Generic medicines contain the same active ingredients as non-generic, which have undergone clinical trials and received mandatory approvals. The cost is low because of reduced expenses for marketing and patents. These medicines provide good clinical benefits and help people save more on their monthly medicine bills. In my opinion, a person should discuss with a doctor the best available generic substitute for his/her ailments.”

“Generic medicines have become a true saviour by offering the same active molecules at a much lower cost. With more people confidently choosing generics, it’s important to check with your doctor and ensure the medicine has the same composition, strength, and dosage form for safe, effective treatment.”

Dr. Vishesh Bharucha
Consultant Physician at Kasturba Hospital, Valsad
MBBS, MD (Medicine)
“Recently patients have been asking about generic medicines. I explain that generics contain the same active ingredient as branded medicines, and treat illness the same way. They are cheaper, making treatment accessible without compromising efficacy. However, patients worry about their safety. Generics have the same safety profile as branded drugs when taken under proper medical supervision, and purchased from reliable sources.”
Valsad, India
