Is it fair that a customer must spend all their financial resources on complying with the physician’s prescribed drugs? With the rising costs of healthcare services globally, a greater percentage of customers’ out-of-pocket spending goes into buying drugs prescribed by their physicians. Surprisingly, in recent years, this spending has far exceeded the overall medical spending, which is concerning for the government, customers, and the healthcare sector.
The scenario could be attributed to the pharmacy industry, which spends millions of dollars in its drug-making process. From conducting multiple drug-making and clinical trials—to wasting a billion dollars on product failure—until they reach a health-satisfactory innovation.
They consider themselves rightful for pricing their drugs to the level they desire and repeat this process until it drains the customers’ health and financial resources overall. It is impactful for them in all existing forms.
For those who are poor, the idea of drug affordability has gotten far out of their hands. Even the ones who, despite being insured, are required to spend out of their pockets to fulfil additional drug expenses. In both cases, customers end up denying the consumption of prescribed drugs due to their inability to afford them.
But it doesn’t have to be the case. Instead of completely denying it, they have an alternative of using generic drugs. Generic drugs are pharma medicines that are not only cost-effective but perform the same role that a branded drug would do. They have the same dosage, kinetics, strengths, quality, and intended usage. Approved by the FDA, generic drugs are being promoted in the market at a faster pace today.
“If generic drugs can provide us the same therapy that a branded drug, then why not give it a try?” Hopeful about cost savings, customers are starting to give it a thought. Realizing the increasing preferences towards generic drugs, we at Insights Care, through our latest edition, “10 Most Leading Generic Pharma Companies to Watch in 2022,” will be signifying the shift in the industry’s operations to reach where customers are headed.
