GENERIC MEDICINES AND BRANDED MEDICINES

Aarcha M R, Fathima K K

Abstract


Around the world, generic prescriptions are a widely acknowledged notion. However, due to issues like unavailability and mistrust regarding the product's quality, it hasn't become as popular in India. On the other hand, the West Bengal government in India launched "fair price medicine shop" (FPMS) exclusive generic drug stores within government hospitals in 2012 using a "public-private partnership" approach. The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes and experiences of patients using generic medications that were bought from these FPMS.
