Are you familiar with generic drugs?

Generic drugs (generic drugs) are drugs that have the same active ingredients and the same efficacy and effects as the original drug, which are sold after the patent of the new drug (original drug) has expired.
Since it is cheaper and more economical than the original drug, it will lead to a reduction in the patient's out-of-pocket burden and an improvement in insurance finances.

The city is notifying people who are enrolled in National Health Insurance and who may be able to pay less at medical institutions by switching to generic drugs.
Please use this as a reference for deciding whether or not to use generic drugs.
