Imagine yourself purchasing some medication at the drugstore, which was prescribed by your doctor. Really costly you think to yourself. A good doctor proposes you to get an analogue - the identical preparation at a cheaper rate. A lot of drugs have got their absolute analogues that have the same components and that is mentioned on the pack. Then why are the costs so various? Why the renowned pharmaceutical companies establish so great prices for their production for the same substances?
What is the meaning of word generic? We can depict such type of preparations as generic with some formulations:
There is a possibility to substitute the innovative preparation with generic pills. The producers of generic preparation do not have the license for producing medicines. That can be proposed at the market after the expiration of the patent or some rights. The quality of the generic medications is the same and some instances is better than in the analogue medicines produced by corporation that has got the proper license for it. What is the dissimilarity in prices between generic and brand drugs? You don't have to be a scientist to evaluate how much it costs to invent the modern kind of preparation. Let us start with the fact that famous pharmaceutical concerns get thousands of millions dollars into invention related to creation of new medicines. Not every new medicine producing is successful. Actually that is not really difficult to define the successfulness of the medicine from the first days of its presentation. After all the researches about the efficiency of the medication are performed they ought to get a license. The modern preparation can get the status of medicine just after lots of researches are done and the safety and efficiency of this preparation is proved completely. The further discoveries can be focused on looking for some development of current preparation.
The experiments are commonly being carried out with combining of current medications with some others. The license is active during 20 years. The basic profit got by the producers surely incomes from the pharmacies which order lots of preparations. There are some facts which can explain so low prices offered for generic pills:
-there is no expenses connected to development and experiments, it is enough to copy the formula;
-there is no reason to invest funds into advertising - the consumer already knows how that preparation works.
Low price, does it imply it is a bad quality medication? The basic purpose of developing of generic drugs is to reach the same therapeutic action as the brand drugs have and to design truly safe preparation. Otherwise, this generic medicine will not be legal on the market. Of course such a research cannot be believed the same as a big clinical experiment, however, it proves that the generic preparation effect is similar to its prototype. The side effects as well as the treatment effects are really the same in both of pills variants. That is a general world practice for well-known pharmaceutical corporations to produce not only their original preparations but generics as well, that are of the same quality. That is why when your doctor offers you to substitute one preparation by the other, do not decline this offer right away! Every physician can say that generic pills is just the absolute copy of original analogues. The developers of generic pills require to change the name of medicine.
