Where Do I Put My Badges On My Brownie Uniform

Which is better, generic or a brand?

Note: previous articles published in Mondo Medico

Before Christmas in Farmacriticxs read an article quite interesting, " Letter from a recently retired employee of GSK ". The debate originated out to find me information on the topic of generic drugs and try to approach it from several points of view: the doctor, the patient and the health system.

The issue is controversial. I hear often ask if a generic drug is as effective as a brand name drug, generic comment that the excipients are of lower quality and therefore are less effective and are more allergic reactions. I meet patients who are angry if I prescribe a medicine generic. And like the debates originated the article linked in allocating collejas to Marilyn Manson and Joseph Thomas (OK, joke bad-Remal)

Before getting into flour to discuss this issue in several small items, I want contéis what are the main concerns and impressions you have of this subject. Your comments will help me complete these miniartículos quite safe and interesting debates that arise.
