Cheap Drugs at Online DrugStore vs Drugs at Offline DrugStores:
While it’s good to get cheap drugs, it's even better to get them for free; hold up, this is only partly a joke regarding generic drugs. You may have noticed a hint of strong contempt in the joke which is hard to miss. Nevertheless, it is not the theme of this article. It is a fact that online drug stores are selling generics and drugs at a far cheaper rate as compared to offline stores. And this is the subject that I'm going to focus on throughout the following essay.
To start, it is mandated that generic drugs be tested and certified to be exactly the same as their branded counterparts so as to establish their conformity in every respect -- not just their safety but also their side effects and risks. These tests are conducted under statutorily-mandated observation in scientifically established testing sequences in progressive stages. This is done initially at laboratories and later, prior to approval, in clinical trials for extended periods of time.
Yes, this is a time consuming system ridden with potential failure but you must recognize that there are simply no aspects of research, including the extra time it requires, that will slash the expense of developing generic drugs by more than half. That is why generic drugs are considered to be cheaper, but that is not the only reason.
Patents protect brand name drugs exclusively and at set prices for 20 years, which is longer than ordinary people can afford on a sustained basis, even with the half-hearted assistance of health insurance and social security. In India and other third world countries, the business of cheap drugs is a billion dollar business. Drugs that are manufactured here are inexpensive in real terms and they can be sold over the Internet.
Now, let’s investigate why generic drugs get even cheaper when they are sold by online versus selling them offline. To start, generic drugs are available for sale online 24/7 because everything except dispensing has been automated while the dispensing is done remotely, in most cases by a manufacturer or stockist located in a country where generics are manufactured. This eliminates for the online store the cost of purchasing inventory and holding it. When you place an order for drugs on the Internet, your order is then filled and shipped from the cheapest manufacturer in the store’s network of suppliers.
This is really a blessing in disguise for both the online sellers and those who make the cheap drugs at the expense of brick and mortar pharmacies. The big disadvantage for brick and mortar drug stores is they lack the benefits Internet sellers are enjoying all because of their greatly different business models.
Speaking of business models, bricks and mortar drug stores are also at a disadvantage when it comes to the taxes they pay (depending on their country of origin), which, ironically, negate all the advantages social security and medical insurance would have otherwise provided.
My opinion is, if the generic drugs show similar performance, there is no harm in saving some dollars by ordering them via online drug stores.
