😉 Greetings to my regular readers and new guests of the site! Friends, there are questions: what are generics of drugs and is a doctor’s prescription always useful? Let’s figure it out.
Doctor’s prescription: we treat one, we cripple the other
When contacting a multidisciplinary medical institution, a sick person rarely leaves a doctor without a list of prescriptions and a prescription of necessary medications.
However, it turns out that some of the expensive drugs do not always bring the expected result. And some of them are not required by a specific organism at all. How to understand what should be purchased at the pharmacy, and what can be postponed?
It all depends on the disease. Of course, the saying is clear to everyone, but many believe that all diseases can be cured only by advertised drugs. To begin with, it is worth understanding: what organs does the disease affect?
What side effects can the use of this or that miracle remedy bring? Sometimes a common cold is offered to be treated with strong antibiotics or antiviral drugs. And you need to remember that tablets and capsules are highly irritating to the digestive tract.
So, getting rid of the flow from the nose and temperature, you can get a “bonus” in the form of upset stools, abdominal pain and heartburn. As the saying goes, “We treat one thing, we cripple the other.” Further, the symptoms will grow by analogy with a snowball, and the pharmaceutical network at this time will increase profits.
What are generics
Generic Is a drug. Generics do not differ in their effectiveness from the “original” drugs, but they are much cheaper.
Supporting the production of generics, their use in medical practice and their replacement for “original” branded drugs is one of the strategic goals of the World Health Organization in ensuring access to medical care.
Almost all expensive drugs have cheap counterparts. This is a so-called list for all segments of the population, and does not affect narrow-spectrum drugs.
The consumer pays attention to the variety of remedies for the same disease in the pharmacy chain. But he can not always tie the threads of such a “conspiracy”.
Pharmacy revenue is entirely related to the work of doctors. Moreover, many of the Aesculapians make a profit for the active sale of medicines. Therefore, it is not out of place to find out about the prices for similar medicines and for products that replace them.
By the way, any expensive remedy for protecting the liver is successfully (and with the best effect) replaced with a penny “Milk thistle”. Don’t make a cult out of the recipe. In the modern world, there is access to any information. Unwillingness to search for it can result in further health problems.
Prevention on guard of economy. It is useless to argue with the statement, any disease is easier and cheaper to prevent than to cure later.
This advice does not apply to patients with complex medical conditions requiring specialized intervention. But it should be remembered that the replenishment of the body’s defenses is much more useful with the help of natural food products than pharmaceuticals.
