What do you prefer to use? Generic Drugs or Branded Drugs? Experts say that they have the same effect that's why we could use it, too. But for me, I prefer the branded ones because I think it's more effective.

I prefer the generic. Basically with the brand name your are paying for the name. If you check the labels and check the ingredients, you will find that the name brand and generic contain the same thing. So why pay for a name??

I just prefer the branded because I think in branded, you are assured that it's safe and the companies who manufactured it has the responsibilities if ever there will be side effects.

Actually they are not responsible if the side affect you have is listed on the label. You know the chances of what can happen so they are not liable. Generic does the same.
