Medicine is composed of two component API(drug) and excipient
So the main difference with generic medicine is composed with same api but with different excipient
Friends, Need your valuable feedback/opinion on:
Zee Lab Pharmacy
Azulix 2 MF - Rs. 261/15 Tab. But,
Glyzee M2 (Same composition) - Rs. 22.5/15 Tab.
Eternex M 500 - Rs. 194/10 Tab. But,
Tenlizem M 500 (Same Composition) - Rs. 25/10 Tab.
Similarly other medicines / supplements etc. are 90%+ cheaper.

So the main difference with generic medicine is composed with same api but with different excipient
excipient by definition is inert. So, different excipient is good or bad?
Excipients have no therapeutic value, they are added just to give texture, color, taste, etc etc
The question remains, if any one ever found Generic Medicines to be Good?
Yes the are goood and effective.
I have self tested on generic medicines and found no ill effects.
Buy if you genetically believes that generic medicines are inferior or affected with
Neophobia ,well ,better to avoid it as it has a lot to do with psychology.
I would rather say , that they are more safer than other non generic drugs as there is a risk of adulteration or unethical practices from a few companies running for sole profit. In our family we have consumed mostly generic drugs even tho the doctor insisted on branded ones and believe it or not found them more effective than the counter part especially for skin related treatment
So, looks like Generic medicines can be used. However any alternate trusted sources other than ZeeLab?
