#A2 The government, together with the doctors and pharmacists, should educate the people that generic and branded medicines are bioequivalent. They should also provide financial support for research and development of generic drugs. #RxWriting #SBCMPharma1 @medpharmaguy

@medpharmaguy #A2 We should actively participate in correcting misconceptions about generic vs. branded drugs. By properly educating the patients, the doctor-patient partnership in choosing a pharmacologically and economically-favorable medication is strengthened. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

@medpharmaguy The community must be further educated about proper usage of prescription medication. With regards to generic prescription, patients must always be informed that both generic and branded medications have the same efficacy. #A2 #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

#B2 The patient needs to be informed that Generic drugs are not inferior to Branded drugs. It is approved and recognized by the FDA, meaning Generic drugs are safe and effective therapeutically. #RxWriting #SBCMPharma1 @medpharmaguy

#B2 The patients needs to know that generic drugs can be used as an alternative for branded drugs because they are the same in terms of form, dosage, strength, safety, quality, performance and intended use #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting @medpharmaguy

#B1 Generic drugs are bioequivalent to branded drugs. Its cost is lower and this can lessen the financial burden on the patient. This is especially true for patients with lower incomes and those with life-long diseases #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting @medpharmaguy

#B2 Generic drugs are sometimes viewed as less effective than the brand-name because they are cheaper. As part of the health care system, we should be responsible in educating patients that generic drugs work as fast and as effectively as the brand-name drugs @medpharmaguy

[Shena Abrio @abrioshena]

#A2 I think the patient education is already there, what needs to be improve on is the way on how do these pharmaceutical companies advertise between generics vs branded. I mean set aside first the personal interests of these companies. #SBCMPharma1 #RXWriting @medpharmaguy

[SBCMPharmaStud @SbcmStud]

@medpharmaguy #A2 I think, we must not just become a doctor, but also as an educator for our patients, in order to provide them the different choices in their medical treatment. This is perfectly done by setting aside our own bias for prescribing “branded” drugs as our treatment of choice.

[SBCMPharmaStud @SbcmStud]

@medpharmaguy #A1 I think the main disadvantage of prescribing generics to our patient is due to the different misconceptions about these drugs. “Generics are weaker”, and generic drugs “don’t work” are just few of the examples of misconceptions regarding generics. #sbcmpharma1 #Rxwriting
