of drug company price differ. • Sometimes for a very cheap medicine price

becomes very high due to Brand drug medicine.

• Brand Drug Company gives a good percentage to doctors for recommend their drugs.

• Doctors prescribe the branded costly drugs to their patients though they can recommend their patients same medicine having low cost.

• Patients are unaware about prescribed drugs, so they are bound to buy those medicine prescribed by doctors.

• Patients are cheated by both doctors and those Brand Drug Companies.

Government role

• To promote cheap drugs in 2008, the gov. had set up a scheme called “Jan Ausadhi” whose purpose was to set up Generic Drugs across the Country.

• The initial plan was to set up 3000 store across the country but 3 years later only 300 exists.

• But this scheme fails due to lack of awareness and incentives involved from pharma companies to doctors.
