Seems to be a powerful drug.No doubt your thinking is correct,but be sure that what you are buying is made by a reputed company.

I am using Nova 75mg, of Cipla co . Comfortable. Why this happens ? Doctors coluded in this racket. I have found this on many cases.

I think there is no immediate solution. Patients should become educated, read well and guide others. Too much of exploitation. The drug what I use is less by 1600%. Now I am practicing finding equivalents always. I am sending a link in India to find equivalent drugs . There are many such websites. The only way is to insist and regulate that doctors prescribe by drug name not brand name.
