Generic Medicines at Very Less Cost
Generic Medicines at Very Less Cost
-GKR
There is a website where we can find out the alternative cheaper generic medicine instead of the costly one recommended by the doctors. We all know that though the cost of manufacturing of a medicine is much lower, however, the companies sell the medicine at exorbitant price for many obvious reasons.
I found it very interesting and if you feel that it will be beneficial ,you may circulate it. You can discuss the alternatives with your doctors and probably some doctors may help them to buy cheaper alternatives.
