Why choose generic drugs in Singapore?

The primary argument favoring the generic product, particularly in Singapore, is its low cost compared to the original. Manufacturers of generics, including those in Singapore, do not have to pour vast investments into development. They employ a ready-made proven formula to manufacture the medicine. Furthermore, the production of generics frequently takes place on equipment that is in no way substandard to that utilized by the developer of the original formula. As such, the outcome is a high-quality drug that is nearly comparable to the original medicine.
