Brand vs. Generic:
What is the difference?
The only difference is the inactive ingredients (fillers, colors). The molecule that treats your condition is identical.

From Factory to You
Every batch undergoes a 4-step purity check before it leaves the warehouse.
1. Raw Material Test
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) are tested for chemical purity.
2. Dissolution Test
Ensures the pill dissolves in the body at the exact same rate as the brand.
3. Impurity Check
High-performance liquid chromatography scans for any contaminants.
4. Final Seal
Tamper-proof packaging with lot numbers for full traceability.
The "Price Anatomy"
You aren't paying for "lower quality". You are paying for the lack of marketing.

Myth: Generics are weaker.
"They take longer to work or aren't as strong as the brand name."
Fact: They are identical.
The FDA requires generics to have the same strength, dosage form, and route of administration. They work just as fast and just as effectively.
Myth: Indian factories are dirty.
"Imported meds are unsafe or made in uncontrolled environments."
Fact: World-class facilities.
Indian facilities supplying the US market are regularly inspected by US FDA agents. They use the same high-tech equipment as factories in Europe or the US.
