Some people believe much of the misinformation published by those who would have them pay ten times more for genuine drugs rather than the far cheaper generic versions.
Well, here is why the vast difference exists.
It's simply economics versus opportunism (although sometimes justified).
There is no difference.
Then come the trials, which have to satisfy the likes of the FDA (most countries have their own version of the FDA), which can, again, take years and more millions and even still fail for one reason or another.
), the drug company then have to spend more millions and months marketing and promoting it to the public and the medical profession and wait for them to become confident in the product.
Interestingly, for instance, from the time the patent was taken out on Viagra in 1993 it took five years, till 1998, before it could be sold.
Who can blame them, really? It's a huge investment and huge risk with any new drug and some don't end up being worthwhile.
At least for the first decade or so, while these enormous investments are being recovered.
Now for generic drugs, of which there are many.
S.
They can however, be imported, in personal quantities by individuals, in most countries.
Those countries that don't have such an authority rely on the World Health Organization (W.
O.
Let's face it, when people get sick in Australia, Britain, India, Russia, China, Japan etc and take the drugs made in their own country, they get better.
S is NOT the only place in the world that can be trusted to make quality, safe and effective pharmaceuticals.
In fact, it may surprise some that the bulk ingredients for some so-called 'US manufactured' drugs are actually imported from other countries, so let's be realistic!

, World Vision and the Red Cross etc in their humanitarian endeavors because of their vastly cheaper prices.
Generic Drugs that are sold through Online Pharmacies are so cheap because of the cheaper labor in other countries, but more so because of the obvious following reasons:
NO huge initial investment to recover.
NO transport costs between three, four or often five of the above organizations.
NO 'bricks and mortar' premises need to be maintained by the middlemen or the Pharmacies.
In closing, I must admit that there ARE counterfeit drugs and there are drugs, which don't contain much of the effective ingredient.
People are still buying online drugs in droves and they wouldn't continue to do that if they were having bad or questionable experiences, would they?
It's also been discovered that the counterfeit drugs that everyone seems to condemn online Pharmacies over, ALSO show up in 'bricks and mortar' Pharmacies.
media and the original manufacturer's hype.
As for the best way to tell a safe online Pharmacy, look for a toll free phone number and other means of contact, for following up orders, requesting cancellations, refunds or complaints.
Check out the contacts first if you wish to make sure they're genuine.
Generic drugs are safe, in the main and online pharmacies are honest and helpful, also in the main.
Hopefully we will soon have worldwide pharmacy access, which all people can trust and take advantage of.
