I will try the generic medicines. I hope they will be effective. They were free from the government hospital. This will be a great saving for me. They are meant to have the same chemical constitution right?

@yoalldudes it also work with me, and I see no reason why I should switch to branded expensive medicines. If there's generic, I will go for it.

It is a wise tip for those who are on regular medication and spend a fortune on that.

Yes I have been taking it since 2012. Maybe I could have bought a car instead already. But I waited until I'm more stable. I hope the generic brands suit my body.

Yes for as long as they belong to those credible manufacturers of it. There are still many small time manufacturers that make quality of their medicines a bit substandard. I think that they still need to regulate this so that the quality would be match with those big branded ones.

We have a term in Filipino "hiyangan". But yes, a quality test will be beneficial to us.
