Generic anticoagulant

[Jdunk]

Has anyone tried Eliquis generic meds from India , I believe?

[Finvola]

Have these been produced on licence from Eliquis or are they rip-offs?

I wonder how you would know? Even licenses can be forged.

As we obtain all our drugs in the UK from Pharmacies which are on NHS prescriptions - we have no need to use any other source.

I would be very uncomfortable about using drugs which weren’t sourced from reliably regulated and licensed outlets.

I’m talking about a Canadian licensed pharmacy that ships product from India. Other generics that I’ve use from the supplier have been excellent. But because of the nature of this malady I am somewhat cautious in selecting a generic.

An Indian doctor friend of mine explained recently that in India, patent laws and licenses of drugs developed and marketed from else where in the world, are totally ignored and they simply produce their own versions.

They have a market of 1.2 billion so they feel they do not need to worry about sanctions from the global big pharma companies.

Thank you for your insight in this matter😀
