Blood pressure

Dear Pharmacist/Doctor My mom has been on Vascase for her B.P. for a few years. Today when she went to get her medication she was told that now she has to take the generic Cilaril- so obvious that Meuhedet is trying to cut costs as always. Please tell me whather it is just as effective. She has also taken Neurontin for many years AND now they have given her Gabapentin- is this just as effective.? I have my doubts that generics are as effective as the real thing. (You may answer in Hebrew)

Hi keren Usually, generics are as effective as the original drugs Exceptionly, there could be a difference A trend to switch patients to generics is the common practice all over the world AND is definitely justified as it leaves resources to cope with the other ongoingly increasing costs of medicine. All the best
