Getting sick is expensive: you have to spend money on drugs instead of working, and the prices of some of the pills are appalling. Most of popular antiviral drugs will not cure ARVI and flu, but if you are more comfortable taking your usual pills, then at least do not overpay.
Ekaterina Tabatchikova
does not overpay
Remember these analogs of expensive drugs: they are the same active substance, the only difference is in the manufacturer and auxiliary components.
Attention!
If the doctor has prescribed a certain medicine and says that you need to take it, and not a generic, do not look for a replacement. Perhaps, in addition to the main active ingredient, auxiliary ones also play a role: in a substitute, they may be incompatible with other drugs used.
Remedies for ARVI
The best remedy for ARVI is a warm drink, rest and drugs topical application: vasoconstrictor drops from a cold, relieving a sore throat lozenges. The drugs that are so fond of the common Russian are expensive, but cheap analogs of drugs are also sold. It is better to spend the saved money on buying fruits, juices and vegetables - they will help the body to recover faster.
| Expensive medicine | Cheap counterpart | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Cycloferon | Russia meglumine acridone acetate 353 Р for 20 tablets | Kagocel | Russia kagocel 242 Р for 10 tablets |
| Amiksin | Russia tiloron 482 Р for 10 tablets | Tsitovir | Finland thymogen sodium 325 Р for 12 tablets |
| Ingavirin | Russia vitaglutam 491 Р for 7 tablets | Arbidol | Russia umifenovir 142 Р for 10 tablets |
Preparations for 150 and 500 rubles act the same way: they form immune bodies and help to overcome the disease, regardless of the active substance of the antiviral drug.
Flu remedies
The seriousness of influenza is that it can cause the development of severe complications... It is possible to cope with the symptoms of influenza with the help of the development of pharmacists: there are branded European drugs and their Russian counterparts.
Cough medicine
A cough can be caused by inflammation in the airways or mucus leakage from the nasal cavity. There are two types of cough suppressants: mucolytic and antitussive drugs. Each of them includes expensive drugs and cheap counterparts.

| ACTS-long | Germany acetylcysteine 539 Р for 20 effervescent tablets | Acetylcysteine | Germany acetylcysteine 192 Р for 20 effervescent tablets |

Cold remedies
A runny nose can be infectious or allergic. The choice of medicine is determined by the diagnosis, so you need to contact an otorhinolaryngologist and establish the cause of its appearance. Vasoconstrictor drugs will help to eliminate a runny nose of any type - they equally well reduce nasal congestion, regardless of the price.

Medicines to lower fever
Antipyretic drugs are prescribed to treat symptoms viral infections... These funds should quickly bring down the temperature, relieve the feeling of aches and pains in muscles and joints.
To be honest, our expertise in pharmacology leaves a lot to be desired. When we go to the doctor and receive an impressive list of drugs at the end of the intake, we hardly question him, because a person, when sick, tends to trust rather than doubt. And so, having enlisted the authority of the attending physician, we go to the pharmacy and humbly lay out a round sum for those drugs that should raise us to our feet. And we rarely think about economic efficiency treatment, until, of course, the amount of treatment exceeds a certain threshold. We stand outside the process of determining and choosing one or another medicine, the doctor and the manufacturer, with all their marketing, decide for us what to use. To become an active participant in your treatment, you need to know that there are almost always analogues of the drugs you are prescribed with the same active substance and a wide range in price, and sometimes the number of such analogues reaches dozens. The advantage of more expensive drugs in the degree of purification, in the presence of additional additives that affect the duration of the action of the main substance, in the absence of certain side effects... The price of more expensive drugs contains a marketing component (direct advertising, “bribery of a doctor”, a pharmacy premium), as well as a patent component (it took a lot of time and money to develop, which needs to be fought back), of course, a component associated with a more complex manufacturing technology, well and profit. On the other hand, cheap medicines cannot be counterfeited, it is not economically profitable. But how do you make a choice? The information below should help you to at least, ponder the choice. And you will be at the doctor's office - try him about analogues, ask about the active substance. For example, someone from a headache drinks pentalgin, nurofen, and someone citramone and analgin with the same positive effect, but for different money.

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, as part of cheap raw materials used for production inexpensive drugs locally produced (or in "third world" countries), in addition to the main active substance, some impurities are present. 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 to treat 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 the choice for yourself required drug from the whole 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.
The treatment is carried out " grandma's advice"or not carried out 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 drugs will not scare the patient to the same extent as the price of an expensive original. That is why the table" Analogues of Expensive drugs "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 produced at these factories medical drugs are of questionable 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!
