A complete list of drug analogues 2017 allows you to replace expensive drugs with cheap analogues. This will help not only to carry out effective treatment, but also save the family budget.

Generics, this marvelous English word (generic), is called drug analogue, which is sold under a non-patent name. Thus, a generic is an interchangeable medicine that differs only in name, but has the same composition, the same active substance and has the same therapeutic effect. Our task is not to delve into the legal terminology associated with generics, but to find out what cheap analogues of expensive drugs exist.

What is the easiest way to identify interchangeable drugs? The answer is simple: find, on the same Internet, the main active ingredient of the drug and its amount (volume) in the preparation and compare the analogues offered by pharmacists and doctors.

It has long been no secret that many physicians feed on prescribed medications. Often doctor's share, which he receives from the pharmacy, is more than 30% of the cost of the drug. Thus, the popular expression “the salvation of the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves” becomes more relevant than ever.

Therefore, friends, do not chase brands, visit at least 2 doctors with your problem, of course, without talking about the diagnosis and treatment regimen proposed by the previous doctor. Do not be too lazy to read the annotation to the drug, find the main active ingredient of the drug, and you will find at least 2-3 cheap analogues of expensive drugs. Below are tables of interchangeable drugs or domestic generics.

In the table for comparing interchangeable drugs, the price of the drug was not specifically indicated, since prices are not stable and change depending on market conditions, exchange rates and other micro and macroeconomic factors. For this reason, instead of the price of a generic drug, the ratio of the price of an expensive drug and its domestic counterpart is indicated.

In conclusion, I note, do not self-medicate, be sure to consult a doctor, preferably several, about taking this or that medication.

We are all used to the fact that each drug has its own analogues or generics. It is often possible to find a replacement for an expensive imported drug among many domestic drugs or medicines manufactured in "third world countries". Interchangeable drugs (table attached) are, in fact, drugs that are based on one active substance.

Why are originals so expensive?

Often, when buying a common cold remedy at a pharmacy, you have to spend a rather large amount. So the question arises: "Are there any interchangeable drugs? What are we paying big money for?"

But not everything is so simple. There is a fairly convincing rationale for setting prices for many drugs. Of course, not all of them are completely effective, but they deserve preference compared to their counterparts.

What's the matter? There is such a phrase in "Do you want those that are, or those that are being treated?" Of course, analogue drugs are not placebos. Many of them improve the quality of life and help improve the health of people who are not able to spend on this fortune. However, it happens that medicines made from cheap raw materials do not bring the expected effect. It all depends on the manufacturer and his integrity.

The principle of pricing expensive and cheap drugs

If you go into details, explaining the difference in the action of drugs with the same active substance, then it is worth noting the very essence for analogy. Not every flour can be used to bake a bun! It seems to be wheat flour, and only pancakes come out of one, and any muffin comes out of the other.

So, in the composition of cheap raw materials used for the production of inexpensive drugs of local manufacture (or in the countries of the "third world"), in addition to the main active substance, there are some impurities. Poorly purified chemical raw materials can eventually give a small negative result, which most often affects as a side effect or an allergic reaction.

Expensive refined raw materials are used for the production of medicines with a higher pricing policy.

Import substitution

Now the question of import substitution often arises. However, not every original medical product can be replaced by an analog one. Alas, a number of drugs have no equal in treatment. For example, drugs for the treatment of oncological diseases, hereditary diseases and diseases of the joints are unparalleled among analogues, such as Alflutop.

There is a so-called Vyshkovsky index, which determines the degree of benefit of drugs and their popularity. Guided by this index, you can determine for yourself the choice of the necessary drug from the entire mass of analogues. It sometimes happens that an analogue is more popular and more effective than its original "brother".

What is an analog drug?

Analogues or generics are drugs that do not have a patent that do not differ in composition from the patented development. However, all these drugs differ from the original drugs in the qualitative and quantitative composition of additional substances.

An analogue is a kind of copy, but not a fake! After the expiration of the license for original medicines, manufacturers quickly copy the composition of the drug, replacing some of the ingredients with cheaper ones. As a result, pharmacies in abundance offer their customers cheaper drugs. And the companies that developed the original, did a lot of work on testing and research, end up losing. Big turnover from sales of analogs brings fabulous incomes, but at the same time helps people with low incomes survive in a cruel market.

It is this fact that forced the manufacturers of original medicines to start manufacturing analogues themselves in countries with cheap ones. At the same time, companies monitor the quality of all products. Conflict situations from the use of analogues should not adversely affect the reputation of the original. Therefore, analogues produced at eminent pharmaceutical factories are preferable.

Copies and fakes

In addition to analogues, there are also copies of drugs that are truly real. Thus, in Belarus they tried to launch an analogue of Tamiflu into production, while raw materials of dubious quality were purchased in China. The result was that the produced drug does not have any therapeutic effect.

The most dangerous drugs for health are fakes (these are not interchangeable drugs at all, the table of which is in the article)! These drugs are produced at local pharmaceutical factories, outside school hours, but more often this is done in unsanitary conditions and without observing elementary hygiene rules and standards, in basements and sheds. "Medications" come by detour to pharmacies, get to sick people and cause irreparable harm to health. It is these drugs that are a threat to the doctor's reputation and a huge damage to the industry.

Below is a table of foreign drugs of original production, taking into account the Vyshkovsky index, in conjunction with their analog, cheaper "brothers". These are more than 48 pairs of interchangeable drugs that are frequently prescribed.

This is the so-called list of interchangeable drugs. It is not complete, of course, since new analogues are constantly appearing, old medicines that have become irrelevant disappear. In principle, each large pharmacy has its own table - analogues of expensive drugs.

Prescribing medications

When prescribing medications for treatment, the doctor should, first of all, start from the social status and income of the patient. Rich people are used to paying for the speed of results, for the quality of treatment, for the brand. The rest combine the quality of drugs with their cost. You can not drive the patient into a corner by prescribing an expensive original - he will not buy it anyway.

Treatment is carried out by "grandmother's advice" or not carried out at all. If an inexpensive analogue is prescribed to such a patient, there is a possibility that the appointment will be fulfilled. This will happen because the cost of drugs will not frighten the patient to the extent that the price of an expensive original will frighten him. That is why the table "Analogues of expensive drugs" will be very useful.

I would like to add to all of the above: never buy drugs from your hands. In this case, there are no guarantees that this is a medicine, and not a poison or a "dummy". In a pharmacy, to confirm the quality of medicines, you can ask the pharmacist to provide accompanying documents if there is any doubt about their production, as well as get acquainted with the available analogues or substitutes. "Interchangeable drugs: table" here will just come in handy.

Blacklist of Roszdravnadzor

Roszdravnadzor has defined a black list That is, their interchangeable drugs (table), which are analogues of well-known world brands, should not be used in treatment. It has been established by testing that the medical preparations produced at these factories are of dubious quality. Among them: "Belmedpreparaty", "Tatfarmkhimpreparaty", "Biochemist", "Herbion Pakistan", "Farmak", "Sagmel Inc", "Dalkhimfarm", "Biosintez" and others.

In conclusion, I would like to add that before purchasing a medicine, you should read the attached instructions for it, which indicates all its advantages in treatment and a number of side effects. For this there is a table of foreign drugs. When choosing an analogue, you should consult with your doctor.

The choice of medicine is the choice of the patient. Be healthy!

Very often, the prescribed drugs of promoted imported pharmaceutical companies are expensive, so patients in search of a more economical option are looking for analogues of the drugs prescribed to them, quite often this is a cold and flu medicine, probiotics or vitamins and microelements. They are also often looking for analogues to medicines widely advertised on TV, antihistamines, nootropics, and what advertising calls “a cure for VVD.”

In this case, it is better to select full analogues or generics, that is, drugs that also contain the same active ingredient in the same amount. For example, we are looking for analogues and find such a tool as Aspartame, the price of which is an order of magnitude lower than for Panangin. If such a remedy cannot be found with the consent of the attending physician, you can pay attention to substances similar in their effect, but containing another active substance.

Since they are usually looking for not just analogues of drugs - cheap analogues of expensive drugs, it is hardly profitable for pharmacy workers to recommend such a replacement. Therefore, those who need such a replacement should refer to our article, as well as replenish their knowledge by reading the Medical Directory of Drugs and their analogues. We will not be able to talk about all the drugs and their analogues within the framework of this article - a complete list is a multi-volume work. Therefore, we will focus on those that today often appear in commercials and those that patients are most often interested in.

Scene in a pharmacy (cheap analogues of expensive drugs)

Examples of analogues of drugs from different groups

Most often, when receiving a doctor's prescription, we buy not the cheapest drug in a pharmacy. The topic of the article does not provide for an analysis of the reasons for this situation, let's just say that analogues of RF drugs cost twice, and sometimes an order of magnitude less, than imported analogues. Most often, the effect is satisfactory, and the cost savings are on the face.

However, buying a cheap analogue, it is not always possible to achieve the desired effect. That is, by buying a more expensive product, we get the result promised by the instruction. And by purchasing a cheap option, we get a much weaker effect, although the active substance and its concentration are identical to the expensive one. At least, this follows from the feedback of patients.

The reason for this phenomenon can only be explained by conducting an appropriate study. It is possible that in some cases the situation can be explained by a psychological factor (trust in foreign pharmaceutical companies is higher), in others by a counterfeit drug. Perhaps there are other reasons as well.

Probiotic preparations

Given the frequency of antibiotic use for the treatment of certain bacterial infections in humans, animals, their treatment of plants, it can be argued that the intestinal microflora is exposed to substances that are harmful to it quite intensively. It is not surprising that you have to take probiotics Linex, Symbiolact or eubiotics Enterol and Bioflor.

These are high-quality probiotics that contain not only bifido- and lactobacilli, but also enterococci (Symbiolact). Eubiotics may contain either saccharomycetes (Enterol), Escherichia coli (Bioflor) and other preparations that contain certain microorganisms needed by the intestines.

Accordingly, the price of these drugs is not the lowest. Linex costs from 250 rubles. It is not surprising that patients are looking for analogues with a more affordable price for Linex. Unfortunately, there are no cheap full analogues for this tool. The most acceptable are analogues of tablets:

• Lactobacterin - from 113 rubles;
• Gastrofarm from 75 rubles.

The remaining drugs are comparable in price to Linex or are more expensive.

Antihistamines

They are commonly referred to as allergy medicines. To date, there are first-generation antihistamines (, Diazodin, Dimedrol) and second-third generation (Claridon, Rupafin, Trexil, Telfast).

The first generation of antihistamines sins with serious side effects, the main of which is increased drowsiness. This significantly reduces the performance of an allergic person, it is especially difficult to take them for those whose work is associated with risk (drivers, construction equipment operators, and others), and Diphenhydramine is also addictive.

Representatives of the next two generations are devoid of such a disadvantage. But the cost leaves much to be desired. It is difficult for this group of drugs to find complete analogues of cheap drugs - analogues of expensive drugs, as a rule, are not complete and belong to first-generation drugs.

For those who are looking for a medicine from cheap analogues, we can recommend looking at the analogues of expensive medicines with a table with prices:

For analogues at a cheaper price, you can also find. For example, Chloropyramine in tablets costs about 64 rubles. Preparations of the second or third generation cost from 200 rubles, for example, Claritin is about 204 rubles.

"Anti-cold" drugs

Most often, when a pharmacy asks for a cure for flu and colds, they mean drugs that reduce the symptoms of a viral infection (cough, runny nose, sore throat, temperature). That is, medicines that contain antipyretic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory components, and sometimes vitamin C and antihistamine. But antiviral agents, as well as immunomodulators and immunostimulants, can also be attributed to the same category.

A striking and advertised example of such a "cure for the common cold" is Theraflu. Such a quick remedy for colds and flu costs about 338 rubles. Can you find something cheaper? Of course, see the analogues of drugs table of "anti-cold powders":

You can replace this drug with such incomplete analogues of drugs as Antiflu at a price of 113 rubles or Coldrex at 116 rubles. They are slightly different in composition from Theraflu, but give about the same effect. When choosing analogues of cheap drugs, in case of a cold, you should know that in most cases it is enough to take a banal one at a price of 16 rubles and ascorbic acid at 15 rubles per pack.

If the disease is of a viral nature, it is impossible to rely on antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs, they only eliminate the symptoms, but do not prevent the virus from developing. This role is played by antiviral drugs, such as Rimantadine, Kagocel and others. Kagocel costs about 220 rubles and has no analogues. One of the cheapest is Rimantadine. Rimantadine for Kagocel analogue at a price of 50 rubles. But we attributed it to analogues only conditionally.

Vitamin preparations and trace elements

This is a large group of drugs that pharmaceutical companies pack in beautiful boxes and give intriguing names, all at a fairly high price. Although there are products that have the same effect, at a much lower price. Most often, for such drugs, patients are looking for cheap analogues of drugs:

• Neurobion;
• Aginovitis and others.

The list of cheap analogues of expensive drugs will be as follows: there is a Russian analogue for Multigamma. An analogue of Iodomarin (124 rubles) is Potassium Iodide (94 rubles). Neurobion, which costs about 340 rubles, can be successfully replaced at a price of 230 rubles.

Antihypertensive drugs and drugs that improve heart function

If at a young age we do not notice how our "motor" works. Then with age, the heart, an organ that does not know sleep and rest, begins to malfunction, tachycardia, arrhythmia appear, and pressure rises. There are many resources available to help this important organ. For example, we provide medicines and their analogues with a table with prices:

Name of the drug	Price/rubles	Analog/Substitute	Price/rubles
Panangin	122	Asparkam	33
Eltacin	170	No
non-ticket	500	Nebivolol	157
	115	(not analogue)	5

Panangin is the original drug of the Gideon Richter company, it is available in the form of a dragee, the shell of which makes it convenient for swallowing. For Panagin, the analogue is. This is a tablet form, swallowing it is less comfortable. In addition, the drugs differ only in the manufacturer and price.

Advertising positions Eltacin as a remedy for VVD, perhaps the only and absolute one. This is not entirely true. It is a metabolite drug. It is designed to normalize metabolic processes in the heart muscle and reduce tissue hypoxia. It's an antioxidant. Its main purpose is to help the myocardium in chronic heart failure; to combat the syndrome of vegetovascular dysfunction, it is prescribed to children aged 12 to 18 years as part of complex therapy. It contains amino acids:

• Glycine;
• cystine;
• Glutamic acid.

For Eltacin, many sites call Glycine an analogue of this medicine (46 rubles). As can be seen from the composition of the drug - Glycine is only a component of it. Eltacin costs about 170 rubles. There is no complete analogue of this tool.

Nibilet is a third-generation cardioselective beta-blocker with vasodilator properties. This means that the drug reduces the oxygen demand of the heart muscle, has an antiarrhythmic effect, and it can be used to achieve a stable hypotensive effect. It costs about 500 rubles. Replacing the drug with cheaper analogues is possible.

For the drug Nebilet, analogues of this medicine are also produced by Croatia (Binelol for 382 rubles 14 tablets), and India (Nebivator for 370 rubles 14 tablets), and Russia (Nevibol, Kanopharm for 286 rubles 24 tablets).

Cheap analogues and generics of popular products

It is difficult to present a complete list of cheap analogues of expensive drugs for 2016, but we still selected a fairly wide list.

It is more convenient to look at cheap drug analogues with tables. They are recorded in tables using a variety of principles. Sometimes they are grouped according to the pathologies in which they are used. Sometimes by drug groups, in some cases by frequency of requests. In some cases, it is very difficult to single out a classification criterion. We offer several options for tables that can be used when selecting drug analogues.

Video: Expensive drugs and their cheaper counterparts

WHEN 10 rubles = 200 rubles? (Be sure to tell your friends).

When buying medicines at a pharmacy, many turn to the seller with a request "it's cheaper for me." But, the problem is that it is profitable for the seller to sell at a higher price. Even if he picks up the drug "cheaper", it's safe to say - it will not be the cheapest analogue of an expensive medicine.

Besides, when you buy an expensive drug, saying to yourself “come on, it’s not a pity for the health of money”, do not forget that with your rash choice you kill a cheaper manufacturer. Your money will be received by the expensive manufacturer and its network of intermediaries who have shipped this medicine to you. Everyone will be here, from suppliers of expensive components and chemicals, to an expensive advertiser and owner of a TV channel, driving the name of this drug into your head. Those who tried to compete fairly to sell raw chemicals at a small profit, not to bother you with advertising, not to deceive you with marketing promotions, they won't get your money. And therefore in your future all medicines will become even more expensive- the place of cheap manufacturers will be taken by the current expensive ones, and super-expensive ones will come in their place. This is the truth of life. Plan your future yourself. Connect friends and acquaintances. The list below will help you.
