Frequently asked questions
What is a generic molecule or salt composition?
The molecule, or salt composition, is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in a medicine — for example paracetamol, amoxicillin or metformin. Several brands may contain the same molecule at the same strength, which is what allows a pharmacy to substitute one brand for another therapeutic equivalent.
How do I find all brands containing a molecule on PharmaBag?
Open the molecule page from the list on this page. Each molecule page shows every product in the PharmaBag catalogue containing that salt, along with the brand, manufacturer, wholesale net rate and minimum order quantity, so brands can be compared directly on price.
Are generic medicines cheaper than branded equivalents?
Generic and branded-generic medicines are usually priced below the originator brand, though the exact difference varies by molecule and manufacturer. On PharmaBag the wholesale net rate for every listed brand of a molecule is shown side by side, so the actual difference can be compared rather than assumed.
Do I need a licence to buy generic medicines in bulk?
Yes. PharmaBag supplies only to verified businesses — retail pharmacies, hospitals, clinics and distributors — and buyers must complete a one-time verification with a valid drug licence and GST or PAN details before ordering.
