Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for the relief of pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It works by blocking the action of certain substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Aceclofenac is generally taken orally and is available in tablet form. Despite its effectiveness, it may cause side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, or heartburn. It's important to take this medication as directed by your healthcare provider and it should not be taken by individuals with certain health conditions such as heart disease, kidney impairment, or gastric ulcers without medical advice.S$ 1.58Buy Now!

Actonel, or Risedronate, is a medication used primarily to treat osteoporosis and prevent bone fractures. It works by slowing down bone loss to help maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of fractures. It belongs to a class of drugs known as bisphosphonates. It may also be used in patients who suffer from Paget's disease, a condition that weakens and deforms bones. It's generally taken orally once per day or once per week, depending on the prescribed dosage. Side effects can include stomach upset or pain, constipation, diarrhea, or mild joint or back pain.S$ 20.98Buy Now!

Evista, also known as Raloxifene, is a medication used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It belongs to a class of drugs known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). It works by mimicking the effects of estrogen to increase the density of bones, thereby reducing the risk of fractures. Additionally, Evista can reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or those at high risk of breast cancer. Though generally well-tolerated, it may carry the risk of side effects like hot flashes, leg cramps, or an increased risk of blood clots. It's not recommended for pregnant women or individuals with a history of blood clots.S$ 2.67Buy Now!

Fortical is a nasal spray medication primarily used to treat osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. This medicine contains an active ingredient called Calcitonin-Salmon, a hormone produced by thyroid glands in salmon that acts to regulate calcium levels in the human body. By doing so, it helps prevent bone loss and maintains bone density, thereby effectively reducing the risk of painful fractures. It's typically applied once daily in the nose, alternating nostrils each day. As with any medication, it can cause side effects like nausea, flushing, or a runny nose, and is recommended for use under professional medical guidance.S$ 277.73Buy Now!

Fosamax, also known as Alendronate, is a medication used to treat and prevent bone diseases such as osteoporosis and Paget's disease. It works by slowing bone loss, increasing bone density, and reducing the likelihood of fractures. It's typically taken orally once a week. Side effects may include gastrointestinal issues like heartburn, bloating and constipation. Severe side effects are rare, but can include jawbone problems and unusual bone fractures. It's not suitable for individuals with certain esophagus problems or inability to stand or sit upright for at least 30 minutes.

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. As a supplement, it is often used to treat insomnia or other sleep disorders, helping to adjust the body's internal clock. It can be useful for jet lag, for adjusting sleep-wake cycle in people whose daily work schedule changes, or for individuals who are blind and have a disrupted sleep cycle. Side effects can be minimal but may include drowsiness, nausea, or headaches. It's available over-the-counter in many countries, but should be used under the advice of a healthcare professional.S$ 1.21Buy Now!

Alfacalcidol is an active metabolite of Vitamin D, which performs important functions in regulation of the calcium balance and the bone metabolism. Alfacalcidol is Vitamin D-hormone analog which is activated by the enzyme 25-hydroxylase in the liver for systemic and in osteoblasts for local D-hormone actions. It possesses a unique pattern of pleiotropic effects on, e.g. gut, bone, pararthyroids, muscle and brain. Alfacalcidol is superior to plain vitamin D (cholecalciferol) because the final kidney activation of the latter is regulated by a negative feedback mechanism. Although alfacalcidol is widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis, its mechanism of action in bone is not fully understood. Alfacalcidol stimulates intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption, increases urinary Ca excretion and serum Ca levels, and suppresses parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion.S$ 2.13Buy Now!

Premarin is a medication primarily used for hormone replacement therapy in post-menopausal women. It contains conjugated estrogens obtained from the urine of pregnant mares, hence the name "Pre-mar-in". It helps to replenish estrogen levels in the body, which can decrease significantly after menopause. This can help to reduce symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Premarin is also used to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and in certain cases, for the treatment of breast and prostate cancers. As with all medications, it can have side effects and is usually prescribed when benefits outweigh risks.S$ 5.56Buy Now!

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.
