Jan Aushadhi Shops Sell Medicines by Their Chemical Name — Epoche A2
Notice for customers This Jan Aushadhi shop sells medicines under their chemical names instead of brand names, which is why the prices here are much lower than in a chemist's shop. This notice explains what that means. What is a generic name? Every medicine has two names. One is the chemical name, the name of the substance itself — paracetamol, metformin, amoxicillin. The other is a brand name, chosen by the company that sells it. The chemical name is the same everywhere in the world. The brand name is not. How to compare two strips Hold the two packets side by side and read three things: The chemical name, printed in small letters under the big one. The strength, in milligrams. The form — tablet, capsule, syrup. If those three match, the medicine inside is the same medicine. A lower price on this shelf is not a weaker tablet; it is the same substance without the advertising. When to ask your doctor first Ask before you change anything for thyroid conditions, epilepsy or blood thinning, where small differences can matter. Ask also if you are unsure what your prescription actually says. Bring the empty strip with you. It answers most questions faster than we can.
