You can choose to have us send you the next refill automatically just before your supply is scheduled to run out (ensuring an uninterrupted treatment), or you can advise us when to send refills. There are no restrictions on the number of types of drugs in each order as long as you have a valid prescription for each medication.

Generally, in most countries, trademark laws prevent generic drug manufacturers from producing their generic drugs to appear precisely like the brand name counterpart drug protected by trademark laws. Generic medicines are comparable to their respective brand name counterpart medicines.

Generic medications are more affordable than brand-name drugs because they don't bear the high costs of research, development, and marketing. Once a drug's patent expires, other manufacturers can produce and sell generic versions, increasing competition and driving prices down.

Unfortunately, no. At this time, only half of the drugs on the market are available for distribution as generic drugs because half of the drugs are protected by patents, allowing only one company to manufacture and market them.

To purchase affordable generic medications, ask your physician to provide a prescription that permits generic substitution.
