Is A Generic Drug As Good As A Brand Drug In Early Diabetes?

1 comment

Everyone is aware brand drugs cost more than generic drugs. Companies that make brand drugs must factor in hundreds of millions in research costs, therefore they must make that up in their pricing. Early diabetics and all diabetics should know about this.

Knockoffs are a lesser quality product, everyone knows that. Generic drugs, being knockoffs, are made differently than brand name drugs which are required to have a higher standard of manufacturing. Early diabetics using drugs for the first time need to be aware

Do people react differently to each one? Absolutely!

A small modification to that statement must be added. Simple antibiotics are equal to brand names, but newer drugs and move complex drugs are far superior to generic drugs.

Should you be prescribed a drug that does not work at all, or its effects are disappointingly weak, then it’s likely a generic.

It may add a little to The cost, but here is the best approach. Ask the pharmacist for the brand name first, and try it. Then refill with a generic drug. You will know what to do if you see a difference.

It can be done the other way but it’s not the best. Take the generic the pharmacist offers and try it. If the results are not what you wanted then ask for the brand name on refill. The problem is, you may be wondering at this point whether you need a different drug altogether, it makes the decision fuzzy.

When you begin with the brand name first you have a chance to fully appreciate the, sometimes startling, differences between the two forms of the drug. It will be a lasting lesson.

How could a generic be an absolute copy of a brand drug – there is patent protection against that. The government will allow a closely similar drug to be manufactured, but not the exact drug. Drugs for the early diabetic and all users of prescriptions for that matter need to cognizant of this fact.

Pre Diabetes, They Don’t Count Calories Like They Used To

They should mark packages, pre diabetics beware. I was down at the local market the other day wondering if they had anything new to brighten my day. Sure enough there it was in a see-through package, a knock your eye out pastry with a great come either look in its eye

I looked around to see if I was still in the diet food section of the store, I had to be sure I hadn’t drifted subconsciously into the bakery area and was staring at an untouchable.

Nope. The overhead sign read diet foods and supplements – I was okay there. I pinched myself t be sure, because I knew I had struck gold. I tore open the lid, removed the pastry and took a bite, how sweet it was.

Label, what label, do these things have labels? Ignorance is a bliss. When I finally did think of the label I was greatly relief to find there was an acceptable level of protein and fat in the product. That should have been reassuring enough to finish it off, right? However, reluctantly I did nag myself into reviewing the carbs. Only 70 calories, where are the other zeros?

Right away, I wanted to find out how the bakery did it. How did they manage such a delicious, and even generous treat with such a trivial calorie penalty for eating it. The brand was not national, but there was a phone number, so I called it.

The young voice that answered the phone sounded like someone’s daughter, she had such a youthful voice. She was the wife of the baker, they were two years old and doing great with the product that I was investigating.

After she refused to divulge the formula I ask her what laboratory method the bakery used to determine calorie content. She said the Food and Drug agency told her they required a label divulging the contents but did not specify which method the bakery use. I asked her again for the method – she said she looked it up in a book. Her method was to make a guess.

By all safety standards, this product was ready to be consumed, and likely will be by all who choose to believe anything that’s in print.

This is a real personal story. Large food corporations use outside laboratories for food analysis. Regional and smaller companies get along with less. The point: when it come to diabetes and even pre diabetes, the stomach can easily blindfold the eye.

There out there, all the easy ways for a diabetic and pre diabetic to screw up without a diabetic meal plan #1
