How to Get Cheaper Medicines Online
The high costs of medicines have driven many people to despair.
Unless you have a Health Care or medical plan, medications can
be extremely expensive.
Generic Drugs
However, help is at hand in the form of generic drugs. What are
generic drugs? When a drug company first invents a drug, that
company is the only one allowed to sell that drug for a certain
period of years. This is usually 10 years in the USA.
After this period, other companies are allowed to manufacture
and market the drug. These drugs are called generics. The
original drug is a called a brand name medication. Brand name
drugs and their generics are exactly the same in terms of active
pharmaceutical ingredients .
The generic drugs will usually look different as they are made
by a different company although the active ingredient is the
same and it works in exactly the same way. The only difference
between brand name drugs and generics is that generics will
always be less expensive.
Online Pharmacies
As well as generics being less expensive, there is the added
bonus of the Internet pharmacies which are engaged in cut throat
competition for an expanding market. The result for comsumers is
that with drugs becoming ever more expensive especially in the
USA, the internet pharmacies are filling the need to supply
drugs at affordable prices.
