Medications and Generics: Choosing a Drug

Today, we are faced with a situation where vital imported medications have left the Russian market. But our compatriots are not left without help. There is a generic for absolutely every imported drug.

It must be produced in the same pharmaceutical form as the reference. A mandatory condition is the effectiveness of the generic.
