Generic drugs with the same specifications and quantity, medicine as the center?

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-03-08

When we go shopping for medicines, we are often confused by the sheer number of choices in front of us. Especially in the field of generic drugs, why are there so many differences in the same ingredients, specifications and quantities? This has led to our concern about the consistency evaluation of generic drugs. In this era of information overflow, we often encounter situations where the prescriptions prescribed by hospitals are very different from the same generic drugs** sold in online pharmacies. For example, oseltamivir, a common disease resistance, is sold for as much as 130 yuan per box in hospitals, while in a large pharmacy on the Internet, the same specification and quantity of generic drugs** 35 yuan per box. People can't help but wonder, why is there such a huge difference in the same drug?

To delve into the reasons, we must first pay attention to the consistency evaluation mark of generic drugs. The prescriptions prescribed by the hospital and the drugs purchased online are clearly marked with the consistency evaluation mark of generic drugs, which means that they should be relatively consistent in terms of drug composition and quality. The consistency evaluation of generic drugs is to ensure the consistency of quality, efficacy and safety between generic drugs and original drugs, so that patients can obtain similar effects to the original drugs when using generic drugs. Judging by the signs, these two drugs should theoretically be relatively credible.

* The difference leads us to think more deeply about the generic drug market. The quality of generic drugs should be affected by many factors such as production costs and market competition, and theoretically the difference between the same generic drug in different sales channels should not be too large. If the ** of the same drug in the hospital and the Internet is so different, it may involve the problem of drug circulation channels and medical system. The purchase of drugs in hospitals is often restricted by medical insurance policies, while generic drugs sold online may be affected by a more flexible market mechanism, resulting in a difference.

Differences in the quality of generic drugs can also lead to differences in **. Although the consistency evaluation mark shows that the two drugs have similar quality and efficacy in theory, in practice, some generic drugs may have differences in production processes, raw materials, etc., which affect the final quality of the drug. Whether lower generics can actually provide similar efficacy to generic drugs still needs more clinical evidence to support.

In this era of rapid information transmission, patients should remain rational when purchasing drugs, not only pay attention to the first-class products, but also pay attention to the consistency evaluation of generic drugs, the reputation of manufacturers and the supervision of the market. Only in this way can we better ensure the safety and efficacy of patients' medication. Although the consistency evaluation mark of generic drugs is an important reference standard, patients also need to choose carefully when taking drugs, and choose a reputable and moderate sales platform to ensure that their drug experience is more secure and effective. We also need to take into account that differences in generics** may be related to different production and distribution channels. As an institution that directly provides medical services, hospitals' procurement and drug ** are often restricted by medical insurance policies, resulting in relatively high drug **. Conversely, online pharmacies may be more flexible in selling generic drugs through direct sales or ** platforms, avoiding the costs of some traditional channels, thus reducing the ** of drugs. This difference may be reflected in the pharmaceutical**.

It is worth noting that the difference between generic drugs may also be affected by market competition and the relationship between drug supply and demand. If a generic drug is highly competitive in the market, the manufacturer may adopt a strategy to reduce the drug in order to attract more consumers. In this case, consumers may find large differences in different sales platforms**. The differences do not necessarily reflect differences in the quality of generic drugs, but are more likely to be caused by market mechanisms and supply and demand.

For consumers, they need to be rational when purchasing generic drugs, not only to pay attention to the best products, but also to pay attention to the consistency evaluation of drugs, the reputation of manufacturers and the regulatory status of the market. When buying generic drugs, choose a formal sales platform, and if you have any doubts, you can consult relevant medical information or consult a doctor's advice. Consumers should strictly follow the doctor's advice when using drugs, and do not change drugs at will to ensure the stability and safety of efficacy.

All things considered, the difference between generic drugs** may be affected by a variety of factors, including medical insurance policies, production and sales channels, market competition, and drug supply and demand. Consumers need to be rational when purchasing** differences, choose a trustworthy sales platform, and ensure the effectiveness and safety of medication. The regulatory authorities should also strengthen the supervision of the generic drug market to ensure that the quality and quality of generic drugs can meet reasonable standards, so as to safeguard the rights and interests of patients and drug safety.
