Prescription medication should however only be taken under the advice and supervision of a medical doctor. Some pharmacies have their own physicians who will issue, based on a qualified medical questionaire, a prescription for your medication. Please verify your local import regulations.

Q: What are generic drugs?

A: When a drug company first invents a drug (e.g. Viagra) that company is the only one allowed to make that drug for a certain limited time. After this time period, other companies are allowed to make the same drug. These drugs are called generics. The original drug (e.g. Viagra) is called a brand name drug. Brand name drugs and their generics are IDENTICAL in terms of active ingredients. The generic pills may look different (because they are made by a different company) but inside is exactly the same active ingredient, which works in exactly the same way. The only difference between brand name drugs and generic drugs is that generics are always less expensive.

Q: Why are brand name drugs more expensive?

A For one thing, companies spend millions of dollars developing new drugs, which involves screening promising candidates in the lab, then testing the drug on animals before moving on to small trials with human subjects. Finally, the companies conduct longer drug trials with more people. Also, companies making brand-name drugs devote a certain percentage of their budget to advertising, which can be expensive. Most importantly, companies protect their investment by filing for patents on new drugs as soon as they're invented. But years later, once the patent has expired and the company has used up its right to extensions to keep manufacturing the drug exclusively, other companies can apply to the Food and Drug Administration to make a generic version. Without research costs to cover, these companies can sell the generic drug at closer to what it costs to manufacture.
