Generic Drug store

These generic meds (or some branded) are cheaper because they are not manufactured here in the Philippines. They usually come from India where labor is cheap then they sell it in bulks here in the Philippines, giving pharmaceutical companies a huge discount. You have to be careful though, some meds have lower dosage than what is written in its label. You could call this human error :)

Generic brands are cheaper but the effect of medicine sometimes vary per brand.

Yeah. I think we have to thank the government for it. Because thru it, our fellow countrymen who have less in life can have access to cheaper medicines without sacrificing its quality.
