Greetings Sir I can substitute one costly brand medicine to other if molecule and salt are same. Honestly to save money . All lesser costly medicines are available online .chemists keep costly medicine only

Ans: Unfortunately all drug companies are not the same. If the generic brand is of a well known company , you can substitute, I would be reluctant to use drugs from an unknown company.

Dear Sir, Is the efficacy of generic medicine is as good as branded medicine? I am diabetic since 7 years and now taking Glycomet GP 0.50 and Tenglyn 20 once in a day. During last visit i asked my doctor whether i can take Dynaglipt instead of Tenglyn, he said " Yes you can take generic medicine. But some of my friends are in different opinion and they belive generic medicine will not give same result as original brand medicine. I am little bit confused. Will you please guide. With regards Would you please guide

Ans: Medicines with a brand name propose that they have clinical trials
Actually clinical trials, are done for each medicine in their chemical. Composition.
The way of manufacturing differs with available resources with each trade mark. So best would be to stick to a particular drug which your body is responding well even if you are trying out from generic name

I got 96.95 percentile in JEE Mains as being general EWS boy and wishing for CSE branch AI or data science specialisation can I get seat in any NITs? Please help me with this... Thank you

Ans: Hello dear.
With a score of 96.95 %tile and EWS category, it will be challenging to get CSE/AI/DS in NITs. But keep a close eye on the admission process and fill the options with utmost care. At this percentile, you may get sure admission in IIITs. Pl focus more on 2nd attempt of JEE so that you can improve your score and get admission to CSE @ NIT.
