Why Indian Pharmacy?
If you are here then you know the answer. Yes, price is still the primary factor that draws American and European customers to Indian pharmacy. One can easily obtain safe and legit generic drugs from India.

Why are pharmaceuticals priced so low in India?
Honestly, it depends where you come from. For an American customer who pays in dollars the price might seem cheap, but for an Indian it is still going to take a fair share of his monthly income, remember 1$ is equivalent to more than 40INR.

Another reason ofcourse is the widespread acceptance of generics by the government of India. The Indian Government evaluated the economic situation and the prevalent GDP in India and formed the 1970 patent act that allowed the manufacturing of generic variants of drugs that are still under patent protection in the US. According to Indian law, as long as the same drug was manufactured using slightly different methods it was considered legal – this means that India adheres to process patent and does not grant product patents to pharmaceuticals.
It had to be done – imagine the middle class Indian man earning 20,000INR(450$) a month having to shell out high cost of medicines, it would be a catastrophe.

But the patent act was amended in 2005 to adhere to world trade laws, but still offered loopholes to Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers. There were 2 clauses that allowed this – 1) It allowed recognition of product patents that were filed after 1995. This was a significant clause. Remember, Pfizer applied for patent in 1993. 2)Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers who had made significant investments in manufacturing and developing generics till that time could continue doing so by giving a royalty to the original manufacturer. This paved way for the production of Generic Cialis in India legally.

So yes, its legal to manufacture generics in India and it is also legal for doctors to prescribe those affordable generic medicines which are otherwise exorbitantly expensive due to patent laws abroad. This is why India is the top and preferred destination of drug shoppers in the world. Since everything is legal, the top manufacturers manufacture it following the highest standards ensuring the highest quality at a fraction of the price.

What are the top selling generic drugs in India.
Generic Viagra and Generic Cialis are perhaps the most popular medicines that are bought online and millions of men have benefited.
