How to Save on Medications

1. Understand "Generics"

In India, many drugs are sold under a "Brand Name" pushed by marketing representatives to doctors. A generic drug is an exact copy of the branded drug's active ingredient (the salt). By law (CDSCO), the generic must perform identically in the human body (bioequivalence). The only difference is the absence of marketing markup.

2. The "Branded Generic" Nuance

The Indian market is unique because it is flooded with "Branded Generics" — medicines that are medically generic but sold under a specific brand name by top companies (like Sun Pharma, Cipla). Prices between these branded generics for the exact same salt can vary by up to 80%! MediSaathi Rx exposes this variance so you can choose the cheapest reliable manufacturer.

3. Always Check Multi-Platform

A medicine might be ₹100 on 1mg, but ₹80 on PharmEasy due to platform-specific discounts or alternate generic stocking. Don't rely on one app:

• Upload your prescription to MediSaathi Rx
• Let our engine check across 7 pharmacies simultaneously
• Purchase from the platform with the best cart total
