About generics

What is generic medicine?
A generic product contains the exact same active ingredients as the original product and therefore has the same effect for the consumer. When a patent on a pharmaceutical expires, generic manufacturers can market a generic version of the pharmaceutical at a much lower price. The difference is that the generic products on average are 75% cheaper than original products.

Orifarm has agreements with several manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and through this cooperation we market and sell a variety of generic products on the Nordic markets.
