Generic drugs could provide budget-friendly relief


PETALING JAYA: Consumers should consider relying on generic drugs for over-the-counter (OTC) medicines rather than proprietary or branded ones to cushion the rising prices of medication, says the Malaysian Association of Pharmaceutical Suppliers (MAPS).

“To further off-set rising prices of medication, they could also wait or group-buy when there are product promotions in retail outlets,” MAPS executive director Dr Choe Tong Seng said when contacted yesterday.
