Actually, every human body is different from the other. Generic drugs may work on some people while this may not work on some also. Branded products may have high productivity in most cases but this can also be ineffective on some people.

I know of some people who intentionally buy generic drugs for their maintenance instead of more famous ones, even if they have the capacity to do so, just because the branded one don't work on their system.

It's more or less based on your system. If it works for you, then go for it. If it doesn't, shift to another one... generic or branded... makes no sense.

i prefer generic

[re_con]

generic- barato, pero wala nag-undergone thorough research, effective but not so effective.

branded - mahal, have gone a thorough research, faster ang effect, very effective
