Over the last few months, many people have reported personal experiences about the adverse effects of generic drugs. Some people go on to straightaway call all prescription drugs and generic medicines as ineffective without making an honest effort to understand the underlying reason. Unfounded judgments on the internet only lead to more confusion. There are many pharmaceutical companies that either use poor quality ingredients or rely on inferior manufacturing processes, thereby leading to the production of low quality generic pills.
It is now a well known fact that many pharmaceutical companies located in developing countries are producing generic drugs that do not really pass common standards. While some drugs are not bio-equivalents, many others have ‘inactive’ ingredients that can be considered as unsafe. If you’re buying generic medicines without bothering about the pharmaceutical manufacturing company and its location in the world, there is a good chance that you may have to regret it after some time.
Over the last few years, public healthcare agencies as well as insurance companies have got inclined towards the maximum adoption of generic versions of different types of drugs. Low cost of drugs is an extremely strong motivator for these organizations. On many occasions, hospitals and even large agencies may try to compromise on the quality of the drug in order to save more money. It is only due to the politics of ‘profit’ that many unsafe drugs find their way to the shelves of chemists in your city or town. Had regulatory authorities and healthcare professionals been absolutely cautious of not allowing any such drug to enter the system, it couldn’t have happened at all! Right now, it is just important to remember that you can always buy generic drugs but not without the consultation of a doctor you can trust.
