Why Zeelab Pharmacy Focuses on Generic Medicines Instead of Expensive Brands?

Are you curious as why Zeelab Pharmacy places a higher value on generic medication instead of more expensive branded ones? Look no further. Here are the reasons why generic medication is a smart and budget friendly option for more accessible healthcare.

Why are Generic Medicines Preferred by Zeelab Pharmacy?

The cost of healthcare continues to increase day by day. As a consequence, medication has become more and more unaffordable for families. A major contributor to high healthcare costs is the use of branded medicines over generic medicines that are just as effective. Zeelab Pharmacy is committed to generic medicines as they offer a more affordable solution to healthcare without sacrificing quality.

Generic medicines are the same as branded medicines in their active ingredients, strength, dosage form and intended use. They are manufactured to the same regulations and offer the same therapeutic value. Zeelab Pharmacy has made it their goal to offer affordable generic medicines to customers who need daily or long-term healthcare support.

What is the Difference between Generic and Branded Medicine?

Branded medicines are often presumed to be better simply because they are more popular. In reality, there is often little to no difference in the active ingredients, as the difference between generic and branded medicines is often in the branding, marketing, packaging and pricing.

Generic Medicines

Lower cost due to decreased advertising and promotion expenditures.

Branded Medicines

Higher cost due to increased marketing, promotion and distribution expenses.

Brand recognition may drive some medicines to have a higher price, but it likely doesn't lead to a higher effectiveness.

Knowing the difference helps with spending in the long run on healthcare.

Why Are Generics Cheaper?

Why are generics cheaper than branded medicines is a common question.

It is simple to answer. The branded medicines are the ones that take high costs to develop and advertise new research, and the medicines are not available to the public until the research is complete and the medicine has been patented.

After the period is over, any company is allowed to create the equivalent medicine with the same active ingredient which is how the generics are able to be sold.

Because the costs to research and develop the new medicines are paid for by the branded companies, the generic medicines are able to sell the same medications for a fraction of the cost.

Why Are Branded Medicines So Costly?

Branded medicines come with a high price for good reason, and knowing those reasons help to understand the price gap.

• Some of the reasons for high prices includes:

• Research and clinical testing that takes a long time and is a part of the costs.

• The patents that protect the medicines for the initial years.

• The medicines then have a high cost because of the investment into the long advertisements and promotional activities to educate the practitioners.

Those costs will eventually lead to the same active ingredient being able to be sold as a lower cost, generic option.

Are Medicine Generics Safe in India?

Generics sold in India must abide by manufacturing and quality standards set by the regulatory authority. For example, generics must have the same active ingredient and same strength and dosage form as the branded (or originator) medicine. There are also requirements for the quality of the manufacturing facilities that produce them.

 Patients must also be sure to buy medicine from good pharmacies and take them as prescribed by the healthcare professional. If you are not comfortable taking a generic instead of the branded, you must discuss your concerns with your doctor and or pharmacist.

Finding a Generic Medicine

When looking for how to substitute a medicine with a generic version, there are some options you can attempt.

Here are a few ways:

• Ask the doctor if there is a generic version available.

• Check with the pharmacist for a medicine that has the same active ingredient and strength as the prescribed medicine.

• Check salt composition and active ingredients.

• Only buy your medicines from good pharmacies.

Do not substitute a prescribed medicine without professional advice.
