In India, the increasing cost of healthcare is the causative factor why people are going for generic medicines. In 2008, the Government of India, with the Department of Pharmaceuticals, began a new initiative, “Jan Aushadhi” (a Hindi word that means “Medicine for People”).
This program had a vision of making generic medicines available to general Indian population at a fair and affordable price with retail outlets’ setup, hence investing in Pharmacy360 franchisees is a highly profitable alternative as the central government is conducting many awareness programs to motivate people to choose generic medicines, which is going to be advantageous for all the franchisee owners.

Is it always secure to substitute brand-name medicines for generic medicines?
