Countless studies have shown that generic drugs are equally effective versus their brand-name counterparts. In fact, even Harvard and Oxford say that the only differences between branded medicines and generic ones are their packaging and the way they are marketed (in other words, branded medicines cost more because of advertising costs - they are usually shown on television, magazine and other popular mediums).

According to one study by dovepress.com, the primary reason why generic medicines do not have the same reputation as their branded counterparts is price. Many people have the false belief that more expensive medication is automatically better (when the truth is branded medicine is costlier because of patent and marketing costs, and not because branded medicine is made from superior ingredients).

Medicines from India and Pakistan are cheapest base from my experience. They are as effective as the famous brands.

Branded and local brand medicines are almost the same. They have the same medicine name , almost the same content but the effect do make difference. Branded is faster to show the results.

Most folks prefer advertised and highly priced medicinal products which might turn out to be less effective than generic drugs

I agree with you, we just like things with the big name and funny enough they ones with no name might even work better but we pay more for branded stuff
