1 – 8 September 2013 is Pharmacy Week!
We closed off with Gary Black - Director of the
Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa and Ian Craggs - A Pharmacist at
Graceland Pharmacy in Khayelitsha. In today’s show, as it is the Pharmacy week we were speaking about
generic medication and how it differs from the original brand. The use of Generic Drugs has
been steadily increasing internationally as a result on economic pressure on
Drug Budgets. In many countries throughout the world, the practice of Generic
substitution is strongly supported by health authorities and South Africa is no exception. We
discussed various types of generic medication and how they differ from the
original brands. For more information you can contact the Gary at the Pharmaceutical
Society of South Africa on (021) 683 7313 or visit www.pssa.org.za
