Frequently asked questions
-
Which alternative to BRONCHOSTOP DUO is the cheapest?
BRONCHOSTOP is the cheapest same-INN alternative listed — 22.91 RON, 2.99 RON below the current price of BRONCHOSTOP DUO. It contains the same active substance (PLANTE (CIMBRU+NALBA MARE)); the brand, the pack and sometimes the excipients differ.
-
Are these alternatives therapeutically equivalent?
Generics with the same INN have the same active substance and are assessed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for bioequivalence. Differences appear in the excipients (relevant for patients with specific food allergies — e.g. lactose), the brand and the manufacturer. Even so, the decision to switch rests with the doctor or pharmacist; do not change a chronic treatment without consultation.
-
Can I replace BRONCHOSTOP DUO with a generic without consulting the doctor?
For OTC (over-the-counter) medicines you can ask the pharmacist for an alternative with the same INN — this is accepted practice. For prescription medicines, substitution happens either through an INN prescription (the doctor prescribes the active substance, not the brand) or with the doctor's agreement. HartaFarmacii shows alternatives for information — this is not a medical recommendation.
