FAQ
At True Health, we believe clarity builds trust. Here are some of the most common questions our customers ask, answered simply to help you make informed health choices.
❓ What are generic medicines and how do they work?
Generic medicines contain the same active ingredients as branded drugs and work in exactly the same way in your body. They deliver the same medical benefits, treat the same conditions, and have the same dosage form, strength, and effectiveness. The only difference may lie in the inactive ingredients, such as coloring or flavoring agents.
❓ Is it safe to take generic drugs?
Yes, generic medicines are completely safe. They are approved only after meeting strict quality, safety, and effectiveness standards set by regulatory authorities. In fact, they undergo the same rigorous testing as branded drugs to ensure they provide the same results for patients.
❓ Why are generic medicines more affordable than branded ones?
Generic medicines are cheaper because their manufacturers do not have to spend large amounts on research, development, and marketing, unlike brand-name companies. Once the patent of a branded drug expires, other companies can produce generic versions, which lowers the overall cost without affecting the quality.
❓ Are generic alternatives available for all branded medicines?
Not all branded drugs have a generic version available. A generic can only be manufactured once the patent protection of the brand-name drug expires. Even then, some companies may choose not to produce a generic alternative. However, many widely used medicines do have safe and effective generic substitutes.
