Generic products are on average 75 % cheaper than the original products. Due to reimbursements from the authorities, which are calculated on the basis of the cheapest medicine, Danish society saved DKK 4,8 billion on generic pharmaceuticals in 2010.

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.

Why settle for less?

No one should pay more for quality pharmaceuticals than necessary. Low prices and quality go hand in hand in our generic and parallel imported products – so why settle for less?
