The medicines can be categorized as Branded and Generic. The branded medicines are those on which the different pharma companies hold patents and are priced higher in order to recover the cost of research and development. These patents hold for 20 years after which the prices of the drugs come down drastically but by then new drugs have been discovered. The Generic drugs are those medicines which are sold by the name of the salt or the chemical compound and are priced quite low as they are out of the patent. The doctors at Sethi hospital prescribe generic drugs most of the time unless there are compelling reasons for prescribing the patented drugs of a particular company. The pharmacy shop at Sethi hospital stocks both the generic as well as the patented drugs. In some cases there are several competing branded drugs and in that case our doctors prescribe the generic or the cheaper version of the branded drugs as long as the efficacy of the drugs are established by scientific studies.
Most of the drugs which are sold through the pharmacy shops have a margin of around 20% for the shopowner. Almost 4-5% of the medicines get expired and thus the net margin on the sale of medicines for any pharmacy shop owner is around 15%. On this if you add the cost of the capital, rent paid, salaries etc then the net margin is in the range of 8-10%. Many of the online pharmacy chains are offering 20% discount on the medicines which they can do because they do not have many of these expenses like rent and also the issue of expiry as they do not have to stock large quantity or variety of the medicines. They are also doing it to disrupt the traditional market just as the other online retailers like Amazon, Flipcart etc have done. Their strategy is to capture the market and then push their own products. This is going to happen in the pharmacy business also where the online retailers would push their brand of medicines once they have a significant share of the market.
There is a big racket of selling fake or counterfeit medicines. The counterfeit medicines are those medicines which look absolutely like the branded medicines but are not produced or sold by the company which holds the patent on that drug. The efficacy of such counterfeit medicines cannot match the original medicines and therefore one must always buy medicines from a reputed drug store or from a pharmacy which is established inside the hospital as the doctors in the hospital keep a check on the efficacy of the medicines and ensure that only genuine medicines are given to the patients. If you have any concerns about the genuineness of a medicine then try to check the batch number from the stockist of that medicine. This small step will help you in identifying the fake medicines from the genuine ones. Taking fake medicines can do more harm than good and therefore one must avoid this mistake at all costs.
