Frequently Asked Questions

The original medicine is the first drug developed and introduced to the market by a pharmaceutical company, having undergone extensive research and clinical trials.

A generic medicine contains the same active ingredient, the same dosage, and has the same therapeutic effect as the original drug. It is produced after the expiration of the patent protection period of the original medicine.

The main differences usually relate to the manufacturer, excipients (inactive ingredients), appearance, and price. Generic medicines are often more affordable but must meet established standards of quality, safety, and efficacy.

To maintain the effectiveness and safety of medicines, it is important to follow proper storage conditions. Most medicines are recommended to be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is also essential to pay attention to the storage temperature indicated on the packaging.

Medicines should be stored out of reach of children and, if possible, in their original packaging to preserve usage instructions and information about the expiration date.
