There are several brands available in Thailand.I formerly used Sandoz 20 mg though at my pharmacy availability is less certain than before.It's now available again after an absence.

 

My question is whether there is in fact any loss of benefit in switching to a cheaper brand of generic eg Xarator 20 mg which I've been using recently. I'm not concerned to find the cheapest alternative, more interested to know whether there is a difference in quality or efficacy.

 

 

There is no difference in quality or efficacy.  The active ingredient is exactly the same.  What does differ is the amount spent on marketing and the level of profit generated.

 

I'd suggest switching to a local brand such as Clovas or Atorvin.

Thanks.One wonders why consumers would buy the more expensive brand names rather than the generic variety when the product is identical in every way.I did for many years so I suppose the answer is habit/inertia.

I found these tabs so large I had trouble digesting them and moved to eztimibi

much better for me
