Generic Drugs Rock!

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 07/08/2009 - 09:42. ::

Generic drugs duplicate branded drugs, having exactly the same dosage, effects, side effects, intended use, route of administration, risks, safety, and strength. An added benefit of generic drugs is that, unlike branded drugs, these are over-the-counter medications, ones that don’t require doctors’ prescription, which can be expensive and time-consuming.

It’s almost ridiculous to hear the allegations that generic medicines are inferior in quality and are manufactured in substandard facilities.

The FDA enforces the same standards to all drug manufacturing factories. It is for this reason that many companies manufacture branded as well as generic drugs; so much so that 50 percent of generic drug production, according to FDA estimates, takes place in branded companies.

To take one example, the impotency drug Viagra has been around for quite some time now and men are quite content with it, by the looks of it. But is it wise to keep using Viagra at a time when cheaper generic drugs are available in the market?

I have tried Viagra as well as the generic substitute. There’s absolutely no difference. I’d never use Viagra now, for the simple reason that Viagra costs ten times more that the generic version. Viagra is ten bucks a swallow, and the cost can go as high as $14 per pill. Viagra alternatives, in the form of generic drugs, are a buck a piece and offer an affordable yet effective cure for impotence.

One of the companies manufacturing generic Viagra is XL Pharmacy. I have used the Viagra alternative by this pharmaceutical company. To tell you the truth, after trying out their generic Viagra, I have gone on to use a host of their pharmaceutical products. If it is not me personally then I have bought their products for my family members. I have even recommended them to a few of my friends.

The pharmacy offers a host of no prescription medications for sale around the globe; over 1000 generic products, I’d say. Let me name a few of their major ones for your benefit: Xenical, Propecia, Canadian Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and many more. The best part is, besides being cheap, the pharmacy’s products are as just effective and just as safe and reliable as branded medications. No wonder they are one of the most reliable medication providers for generic drugs without prescription.

With all these benefits this pharmacy’s alternatives offer, and that too at a much lesser cost, it’s really illogical that branded drugs like Viagra sell well. I put it on lack of awareness among the masses actually.
