Why doctors not prescribe Generics?

Some doctors may be more familiar with certain brand-name medications and may feel more comfortable prescribing them to their patients. In India what doctors prescribe is brand name for medicines but according to MCI/NMC guidance what doctors are supposed to prescribe is the generic (content) name of the medicines.

Another reason might be that the generic version of a particular medication is not available. This can happen if there is a shortage of the generic medication, or if the patent on the brand-name medication has not yet expired. In these cases, the doctor may need to prescribe the brand-name medication.

Overall, it is important for doctors to consider the individual needs and circumstances of their patients when deciding which medication to prescribe. This may involve weighing the potential benefits and risks of both generic and brand-name medications. At Medkart 4500 doctors choose Generics for themselves.
