Regarding Generic Medicine
For past 5 years my father was taking Afoglip M 1000Mg and Roseday 5Mg but recently he switched to generic medicines of same salt composition. So I just want to know that does generic medicines shows same results and effect as per Afoglip and Roseday, I am bit concerned regarding the sugar result and don't want it to get increased because of generic medicines. Please let me know whether there is any need to switch back to old companies or can go with generic medicine with full confidence and faith.
