Yesterday attended a twitter seminar having Sajal sir. He said this is not practical because
- Unbranded generics are cheap for a reason. u wont step into the factories of them bcz they are in bad shape. There is nothing like USFDA in India to control quality.
- Medical professionals also dont like them because if it takes 2 pills and 2 days hospital bed for a patient to recover with branded ones then with unbranded generics of low price it takes 20 pills and 7 days.
- Absolute profit earned by selling one pill of unbranded generic is much lower than branded one. So to make same profit the pharmacist has to sell more pills.
Hence it’s not viable and sajal sir told this type of things makes no sense for neither the doctors, nor the patients nor the pharmacist. Only government gets some credit for bringing down medicine price but at what cost? india is already the cheapest producer of drugs. How do u make some thing more cheaper when it’s already cheapest in the world.
