We are all accustomed to the fact that each drug has its own analogues or generics. It is often possible to find a replacement for an expensive imported drug among the multitude of domestic drugs or medicines manufactured in "third world countries." Interchangeable drugs (table attached) are, in fact, drugs based on one active ingredient.
Why are originals expensive?
Often, buying a common cold remedy at a pharmacy, you have to spend a rather large amount. So the question arises: "Are there interchangeable drugs? What are we paying big money for?"
But not everything is so simple. There is a pretty compelling rationale for pricing many drugs. Of course, not all of them are universally effective, but in comparison with their counterparts they deserve preference.
What's the matter? There is such a phrase in "Do you have those that are, or those that are being treated?" Of course, analog drugs are not placebos. Many of them improve the quality of life and help improve the health of people who are unable to spend on this condition. However, it happens that drugs from cheap raw materials do not bring the expected effect. It all depends on the manufacturer and his conscientiousness.
The principle of pricing of expensive and cheap drugs
If you go into details, explaining the difference in the action of drugs with the same active substance, then it is worth noting for an analogy the very essence. Not every flour can be used to bake a bun! It seems to be wheat flour, but from one only pancakes come out, and from the other - any baked goods.
So, in the composition of cheap raw materials used for the production of inexpensive local preparations (or in the countries of the "third world"), in addition to the main active substance, there are some impurities. In the end, poorly purified chemical raw materials can give a small negative result, which most often affects as a side effect or an allergic reaction.
Expensive refined raw materials are used for the production of medicines with a higher price policy.
Import substitution
Now the question of import substitution often arises. However, not every original medicine can be replaced with an analog one. Alas, a number of medications are unmatched in treatment. For example, drugs for the treatment of oncological diseases, hereditary diseases and diseases of the joints are unmatched among analogues, for example, "Alflutop".
There is the so-called Vyshkovsky index, which determines the degree of benefit of drugs and its popularity. Guided by this index, you can determine for yourself the choice of the necessary drug from the entire mass of analogues. It sometimes happens that an analog is more popular and more effective than its original "brother".
What is an analogue drug?
Analogs or generics are drugs that do not have a patent, do not differ in their composition from a patented development. However, all these drugs differ from the original drugs in the qualitative and quantitative composition of additional substances.
An analogue is a kind of copy, but not a fake! After the expiration of the license for original medicines, manufacturing companies quickly copy the composition of the drug, replacing some of the ingredients with cheaper ones. As a result, pharmacies offer their customers cheaper drugs in abundance. And the companies that developed the original, did a lot of work on testing and research, as a result, lose. Big turnovers from sales of analogs bring fabulous profits, but at the same time help people with low incomes to survive in cruel market relations.
It was this fact that forced the manufacturers of original medicines to start manufacturing analogs themselves in countries with cheap ones. At the same time, companies monitor the quality of all products. Conflict situations from the use of analogs should not negatively affect the reputation of the original. Therefore, analogs produced at renowned pharmaceutical plants are preferred.
Copies and forgeries
In addition to analogues, there are also copies of drugs that are truly true. Thus, in Belarus they tried to launch an analogue of Tamiflu into production, while raw materials of dubious quality were purchased in China. The result was that the produced drug does not have any therapeutic effect.
The most dangerous drugs for health are fakes (these are not interchangeable drugs, the table of which is in the article)! These drugs are produced at local pharmaceutical factories, during off-hours, but more often this is done in unsanitary conditions and without observing basic hygiene rules and standards, in basements and sheds. "Medicines" arrive by roundabout ways to pharmacies, get to sick people and cause irreparable harm to health. It is these drugs that threaten the doctor's reputation and huge damage to the industry.
Below is a table of foreign medicines of original production, taking into account the Vyshkovsky index, in conjunction with their analog, cheaper "brothers". These are more than 48 pairs of interchangeable drugs that are often prescribed.

This is the so-called list of interchangeable drugs. It is not complete, of course, since new analogues are constantly appearing, old drugs that have become irrelevant are disappearing. In principle, each large pharmacy has its own table - analogs of expensive drugs.
Prescribing drugs
When prescribing medications for treatment, the doctor should, first of all, start from the social status and income of the patient. Rich people are accustomed to paying for the speed of the result, for the quality of treatment, for the brand. The rest combine the quality of drugs with their cost. You cannot drive a patient into a corner by writing out an expensive original - he will not buy it anyway.
Treatment is carried out by "grandmother's advice" or not at all. If an inexpensive analogue is prescribed to such a patient, there is a possibility that the appointment will be fulfilled. This will happen because the cost of the drugs will not scare the patient to the same extent as the price of the expensive original. That is why the table "Analogues of Expensive Medicines" will be very useful.
I would like to add to all of the above: never buy medicines from your hands. In this case, there is no guarantee that this is a medicine, and not a poison or "dummy". In a pharmacy, to confirm the quality of medicinal products, you can ask the pharmacist to provide accompanying documents if there is any doubt about their production, as well as familiarize yourself with the available analogues or substitutes. "Interchangeable Medicines: Table" will come in very handy here.
Roszdravnadzor blacklist
Roszdravnadzor has defined a black list That is, their interchangeable drugs (table), which are analogues of well-known world brands, should not be used in treatment. It was established by the test method that the medicinal products produced at these factories are of dubious quality. Among them: "Belmedpreparaty", "Tatfarmkhimpreparaty", "Biochemist", "Herbion Pakistan", "Farmak", "Sagmel Inc.", "Dalkhimpharm", "Biosynthesis" and others.
In conclusion, I would like to add that before purchasing a medicine, you should familiarize yourself with the attached instructions for it, which indicate all its benefits in treatment and a number of side effects. For this, there is a table of foreign medicines. When choosing an analogue, you should consult with your doctor.
The choice of medicine is the choice of the patient. Be healthy!
Dear subscribers, today we will talk about drug analogues and their prices - or, more precisely, about cheap Russian analogues of expensive imported drugs. As the famous satirist and humorist Raikin would say: "They are making a fool of our brother!" But this is so, and often doctors prescribe a more expensive drug, knowing that there is a cheaper option.
And all because they are interested in that. They will also name the pharmacy, where to buy. There is a conspiracy. I certainly do not want to slander anyone. In addition, sometimes the reception of analogs does not give a stable result. After all, an expensive and cheap medicine is like eating in a restaurant or eatery. The ingredients are the same, but the quality is different ...
Table of cheap analogues of expensive drugs with prices
Nevertheless, if you do not want to overpay for the packaging and for the name, then look at the tables in which you can find all the main equivalents of expensive drugs. There are also from colds and other problems.
Prices in rubles move upward due to inflation, so the tables may contain slightly outdated amounts. But you can get a general idea, and the name of the drug does not change from the price. So the information is relevant!
Drug analogues - Antipyretic, antispasmodics, pressure, for the brain
Drug analogues - Antibiotics, antiviral
The price difference can be seen without much stress. What to buy is ultimately up to you, of course. In the end, it may not be difficult for someone to give 1000 rubles for a box of medicine.
But we must also remember that the price in no way determines the authenticity of the product. And the temptation is great to fake expensive pills. And nobody will bother with cheap ones. There is no benefit.

Generic - what is it: English transliteration of the word generic. In fact, this is exactly the Analog, a drug containing the same active ingredient as a branded drug. The very word that we use most often. And generic is said by those who want to be smart. Large companies patent the names of their drugs, so smaller companies are forced to produce analogues.

What are the tricks in pharmacies
I myself visit pharmacies solely to get acquainted with the range of herbs. So, I come specially to write this note to the pharmacy. I'm talking to our pharmacist. For example, I say, what drops from a cold are there?
She tells me a list from 100 rubles to the top. Well, and on an acquaintance, he also gives out information that, they say, there is certainly cheaper, 20 rubles each. This is Xilen and Rinostop. Moreover, the active substance in them is the same. This is Xylometazoline.
Why they sell expensive ones, but cheap ones do not sell it is clear and without comment. So it is important to be able to understand this sea of drugs, if you are using them.
Very often, the prescribed drugs of the promoted import pharmaceutical companies are expensive, so patients, in search of a more economical option, look for analogues of the drugs prescribed to them, quite often this is a medicine for colds and flu, probiotics or vitamins and trace elements. They are also often looking for analogues of medicines widely advertised on TV, antihistamines, nootropics and what advertising calls "medicine for VSD."
In this case, it is better to select full analogs or generics, that is, drugs that also contain the same active ingredient in the same amount. For example, we are looking for analogues and find such a remedy as Aspartame, the price of which is an order of magnitude lower than that of Panangin. If such a remedy cannot be found with the consent of the attending physician, you can pay attention to substances similar in their effect, but containing a different active substance.
Since they usually look for not just analogs of drugs - cheap analogs of expensive drugs, it is hardly profitable for the pharmacy workers to recommend such a replacement. Therefore, those who need such a replacement should refer to our article, and also replenish their knowledge by reading the Medical Directory of Medicines and their analogues. We will not be able to tell about all drugs and their analogues within the framework of this article - the complete list is a multivolume work. Therefore, we will focus on those that today often flash in commercials and those that patients are most often interested in.
Scene in a pharmacy (cheap analogs of expensive drugs)
Examples of analogues of drugs of different groups
Most often, when we receive a doctor's prescription, we buy not the cheapest drug at the pharmacy. The topic of the article does not provide for analyzing the reasons for this situation, let's just say that analogues of drugs in the Russian Federation cost two times, and sometimes an order of magnitude less than imported analogues. Most often, the effect is satisfactory, and the savings on the face.
However, buying a cheap analogue is not always possible to achieve the desired effect. That is, buying a more expensive product, we get the result promised by the instruction. And by purchasing a cheap version, the effect is much weaker, although the active substance and its concentration are identical to the expensive product. At least this follows from patient reviews.
The reason for this phenomenon can only be explained by conducting appropriate research. Perhaps, in some cases, the situation can be explained by a psychological factor (trust in foreign pharmaceutical companies is higher), in others by the counterfeiting of the drug. There may be other reasons as well.
Probiotic preparations
Considering the frequency of the use of antibiotics for the treatment of certain bacterial infections in humans, animals, their treatment of plants, it can be argued that the intestinal microflora is exposed to substances harmful to it quite intensively. It is not surprising that you have to take probiotics Linex, Symbiolact or eubiotics Enterol and Bioflor.
These are high quality probiotics that contain not only bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, but also enterococci (Symbiolact). Eubiotics can contain either Saccharomycetes (Enterol), Escherichia coli (Bioflor) and other preparations that contain certain microorganisms necessary for the intestines.
Accordingly, the price of these drugs is not the lowest. Linex costs from 250 rubles. It is not surprising that patients are looking for analogs with a more affordable price for Linex. Unfortunately, there are no cheap full analogs for this tool. Analogs of tablets are considered the most acceptable:
- Lactobacterin - from 113 rubles;
- Gastrofarm from 75 rubles.
The rest of the drugs are comparable in price to Linex or are more expensive.
Antihistamines
These are commonly referred to as allergy medications. To date, there are antihistamines of the first generation (, Diazodin, Diphenhydramine) and the second or third generation (Claridon, Rupafin, Trexil, Telfast).
The first generation of antihistamines has serious side effects, the main one being increased drowsiness. This significantly reduces the performance of an allergic person, it is especially difficult to take them for those whose work is associated with risk (drivers, operators of construction equipment and others), and Diphenhydramine is also addictive.
Representatives of the next two generations are devoid of such a disadvantage. But the cost is poor. It is difficult for this group of drugs to find complete analogs of cheap drugs - analogs of expensive drugs, as a rule, are incomplete and belong to the first generation drugs.
For those who are looking for a medicine from cheap analogs, we recommend looking at the analogs of expensive medicines with a table with prices:
For analogs at a cheaper price can also be found. For example, Chloropyramine tablets cost about 64 rubles. Second or third generation drugs cost from 200 rubles, for example Claritin is about 204 rubles.
"Anti-cold" remedies
Most often, when the pharmacy is asked for a medicine for flu and colds, they mean drugs that reduce the symptoms of a viral infection (cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever). That is, medicines that contain antipyretic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory components, and sometimes vitamin C and antihistamine. But antiviral agents, as well as immunomodulators and immunostimulants, can be attributed to the same category.
A striking and advertised example of such a "cold medicine" is Teraflu. Such a remedy for quick help for colds and flu costs about 338 rubles. Can you find something cheaper? Of course, see the analogs of drugs table of "anti-cold powders":
You can replace this drug with such incomplete analogues of drugs as Antiflu at the price of 113 rubles or Coldrex at 116 rubles. They differ slightly in composition from Teraflu, but give approximately the same effect. Choosing cheap analogs of drugs, in case of a cold, you should know that in most cases it is enough to take a banal one at a price of 16 rubles and ascorbic acid at 15 rubles per package.
If the disease is of a viral nature, you cannot rely on antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs, they only eliminate the symptoms, but do not interfere with the development of the virus. Antiviral drugs such as Rimantadin, Kagocel and others perform this role. Kagocel costs about 220 rubles and has no analogues. One of the cheapest is Rimantadin. Rimantadine for Kagocel is an analogue at a price of 50 rubles. But we attributed it to its analogues only conditionally.
Vitamins and trace elements
This is a large group of products that pharmaceutical companies pack in beautiful boxes and give intriguing names, all at a fairly high price. Although there are remedies that have the same effect at a much lower cost. Most often, for such drugs, patients are looking for cheap drug analogues:
- Neurobion;
- Aginovit and others.
The list of cheap analogs of expensive drugs will be as follows: there is a Russian analogue for Multigamma. An analogue of Iodomarin (124 rubles) is Potassium Iodide (94 rubles). Neurobion, which costs about 340 rubles, can be successfully replaced at a price of 230 rubles.
Antihypertensives and drugs that improve heart function
If in our young years we do not notice how our "motor" works. Then, with age, the heart, an organ that does not know sleep and rest, begins to malfunction, tachycardia, arrhythmia appear, and blood pressure rises. There are many means to help this important organ. For example, we give medicines and their analogues a table with prices:
| Drug name | Price / rubles | Analog / Substitute | Price / rubles |
| Panangin | 122 | Asparkam | 33 |
| Eltatsin | 170 | No | |
| Nebilet | 500 | Nebivolol | 157 |
| 115 | (not analog) | 5 |
Panangin is the original drug of the Gideon Richter company, produced in the form of a dragee, the shell of which makes it easy to swallow. For Panagin it is an analogue. It is a tablet form and is less comfortable to swallow. In addition, the drugs differ only in manufacturer and price.
Advertising positions Eltatsin as a remedy for VSD, almost the only and absolute one. This is not entirely true. It is a metabolic drug. It is designed to normalize metabolic processes in the heart muscle and reduce tissue hypoxia. It is an antioxidant. Its main purpose is to help the myocardium in chronic heart failure; to combat the syndrome of vegetative-vascular dysfunction, it is prescribed to children aged 12 to 18 years as part of complex therapy. It contains amino acids:
- Glycine;
- Cystine;
- Glutamic acid.
For Eltacin, an analogue of this medicine is called Glycine by many sites (46 rubles). As can be seen from the composition of the drug - Glycine is only its integral component. Eltatsin costs about 170 rubles. There is no complete analogue to this tool.
Nibilet is a third generation cardioselective beta-blocker with vasodilator properties. This means that the drug reduces the oxygen demand of the heart muscle, has an antiarrhythmic effect, and with its help a persistent hypotensive effect can be achieved. It costs about 500 rubles. Replacing the drug with cheaper analogues is possible.
For the drug Nebilet, analogs of this drug are produced by Horvania (Binelol, 382 rubles, 14 tablets), and India (Nebivator, 370 rubles, 14 tablets), and Russia (Nevibol, Kanopharma, 286 rubles, 24 tablets).
Cheap analogues and generics of popular drugs
It is difficult to present cheap analogs of expensive drugs for the full 2016 list, but we have nevertheless selected a fairly wide list.
It is more convenient to look at analogs of medicines with cheap tables. They are recorded in tables using a variety of principles. Sometimes they are grouped according to the pathologies for which they are used. Sometimes by drug group, in some cases by frequency of requests. In some cases, it is very difficult to identify a classification criterion. We offer several options for tables that can be used when selecting drug analogues.

WHEN RUB 10 = RUB 200? (Be sure to tell your friends).
When buying medicines at a pharmacy, many people turn to the seller with a request “it’s cheaper for me”. But, the problem is that it is profitable for the seller to sell at a higher price. Even if he picks up the drug "cheaper", it is safe to say - it will not be the cheapest analogue of an expensive medicine.
Besides, when you buy an expensive drug, saying to yourself “oh well, money is not a pity for your health”, do not forget that with your thoughtless choice you kill a cheaper producer... Your money will be received by an expensive manufacturer and a network of its intermediaries who have forwarded this medicine to you. There will be everyone, from suppliers of expensive components and chemicals to an expensive advertiser and TV channel owner hammering the name of this drug into your head. Those who tried to compete fairly, sell raw chemicals for a small profit, don't bother you with advertising, don't cheat you with marketing promotions, your money will not be received... And therefore in your future all medicines will become even more expensive- the place of cheap manufacturers will be taken by the current expensive ones, and super-expensive ones will come in their place. This is the truth of life. Plan your future yourself. Connect your friends and acquaintances. The list below will help you.

Generics, this wonderful English word (generic), is called drug analog which is marketed under an unpatented name. Thus, a generic is an interchangeable medicine that differs only in name, but has the same composition, the same active ingredient and has the same therapeutic effect. Our task is not to delve into the legal terminology associated with generics, but to find out what cheap analogues of expensive drugs exist.
What is the easiest way to define interchangeable drugs? The answer is simple: find, on the same Internet, the main active ingredient of the medicine and its amount (volume) in the preparation and compare the analogs offered by pharmacists and doctors.
It has long been no secret that many doctors feed on drugs prescribed to the patient. Often doctor's share that he receives from the pharmacy is more than 30% of the cost of the drug. Thus, as never before, the popular expression “the salvation of drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves” becomes relevant.
Therefore, friends, do not chase brands, visit at least 2 doctors with your problem, of course, without talking about the diagnosis and treatment regimen suggested by the previous doctor. Take the time to read the annotation to the drug, find the main active ingredient of the drug, and you will find at least 2-3 cheap analogs of an expensive drug. Below are tables of interchangeable drugs or domestic generics.
In the comparison table for interchangeable drugs, the price of the drug was not specifically indicated, since prices are not stable and vary depending on market conditions, exchange rates and other micro and macroeconomic factors. For this reason, instead of the price of a generic drug, the price ratio for an expensive drug and its domestic counterpart is indicated.
