What does the term "generic" mean? Do generic medications produce the same effect that the brand name medicines do?
The difference between a brand name medicine and a generic one is in the name, shape and in the price. A generic drug is usually called by the name of the active ingredient while a manufacturer uses a brand name. However, a manufacturer cannot possess a patent for a certain chemical agent, this is why manufacturers of generic medications can legally produce the so-called "generics". They are the same chemically and since the active ingredient is identical, they have the same medical effect. Thus buying a generic medication one pays less but gets the very same result.

I already received my parcel, I had a problem as the courier wanted to deliver
to my home as they claim they cannot place the order into my postbox. This was
my preferred option.
There is not someone at home always, so we had to get the parcel to my office.
No problem with that.
I did have an enquiry into the 4 extra pills, and this was delivered within a
few days via airmail to my post box.
I would suggest you attend to this part of your process as the extra cost is
unnecessary. Include everything into one parcel.
All in all, good service.
