[india-drug] Generic drugs

["Munish Ahuja" <munishahuja17@postmark.net>]

Dear Friends,

I want to attract your attention to a very important issue of
generic drugs. Can anyone tell me how to identify generic drugs from
the branded ones, as some generics are also branded?
 We conducted a survey and found that in almost all of the generics
the MRP written was the same as for the branded ones and in some cases
much more than the branded ones. It is for the chemist to charge as
much as he desires.
Further, is there any mechanism of rating of generics as it is in US?
