It’s a fact that we all bargain when it comes to buying food items or electronics but medicines is the only field in which we buy drugs at full rate. Medical Science is a billion dollar industry and a highly profitable business but some how we are fully committed that expensive medicines are good for our health. This may be true in some cases but majority of time this is not true. Let me tell you one thing that medicines are prescribed(by our great doctors) byBRAND NAME
& not the generics(Ingredients). Hence we end up paying more money for the same medicine which is available in the market at cheaper rate.
