@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

#B2 They have to know that generic drugs are pharmaceutically equivalent and bioequivalent to branded drugs, and that manufacturers would thoroughly research the drugs for safety and effectiveness #Q2 #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting @medpharmaguy

[Kennethjao @Kennethjao2]

#B1 an advantage of generic would be that they are not only cheaper but would also be able to be more readily available to the public, as opposed to branded medicines that may be harder to have access to #Q1 #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting @medpharmaguy

#A1 generics use different inacrive ingredients which may cause adverse reactions that are unknown because of lack of clinical trials. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting @medpharmaguy

#A1: Generic drugs are almost the same as branded drugs, from its active ingredient to potency. However, generic drugs have different composition aside from the active ingredient that could affect drugs’ palatability & pharmacokinetics. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting @medpharmaguy

[Angelo Guzman @geloowz]

#A2: There must be standardized quality testing among manufacturers of generic drugs to at least level the quality of the branded drugs. Also, protocols must be strictly implemented in regards to quality and safe drug manufacturing. #Q2 #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting @medpharmaguy

@medpharmaguy #A1 (2/2) substitutions may cause an allergy, intolerance or there may also be associated risks w/ the condition of the person taking the medicine. Also, not every drug in the market has a generic counterpart. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[Guia Fernandez @docguiabee]

@medpharmaguy #A1 (1/2) Generic and branded medicine are interchangeable. It means that both have the same actions in the body but w/ different inactive ingredients. While this may normally not have any negative effects, one disadvantage of generic medicine is that #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

#A1 Branded names are much easier to memorize, especially if they’re combination drugs. One of the disadvantages of generic prescriptions is that there are some encountered Rx with mismatched combination medicines and/or dosage

[Clare Espiritu Ducut @claredeeeeeeee]

#A2 Educating our current and future medical professionals (not only our future doctors) about the present law on generics prescription can go a long way. Prescriptions written in branded name limits a patient’s medication options.

#A1 (1/2) Subtle changes in the formulation of the generic drugs may have significant effects and can influence the pharmacokinetic properties especially in drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, and therefore can potentially affect a medicines safety #sbcmpharma1 @medpharmaguy
