KUALA LUMPUR, October 7 — Generic medicines are scientifically proven to be just as safe and effective as their branded counterparts, offering the same active ingredients and therapeutic effects at a fraction of the cost.
In Malaysia, all generics must undergo strict evaluation by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency, including bioequivalence testing, to ensure they meet international standards of safety, quality, and efficacy.
Despite misconceptions, differences in packaging or appearance are purely cosmetic, while patient trust and education remain key to dispelling myths that generics are “less effective.” As healthcare costs continue to rise, generics provide an essential solution for both patients and governments.
Ensuring affordable access to treatment without compromising quality.
