Ethical Medicines are costly, but as and when the patent of a drug expires, any other company can composite the drug and cell it with much lower cost. Due to little variation of composition whether generic medicines will show harmful consequences compared to ethical medicine? or it is equally safe?
Sarfaraz Alam
There are several reasons such as competition among the companies, financial assistant from the Government which cut the rate of generic drugs. Although the production by small companies having low QC and QA protocol may have some harmful consequences. But this generally happened in countries where drug regulatory bodies are not properly functions, otherwise its as safe as patent drugs.
