As healthcare costs continue to rise, the National Health Service (NHS) has been forced to reduce the number of prescription drugs that they will cover. No longer will they pay for any medication that does not have a legitimate medical use. This has left millions of men in the UK scrambling to find an affordable alternative for drugs they have taken for years.
The two most popular prescription pills that the NHS will not pay for are Viagra and Propecia. As you may know, the first drug treats erectile dysfunction and the second is for male pattern baldness. Both drugs are extremely effective at treating both disorders, which is probably why they are so expensive. They actually work. Fortunately, there are generic medications and First Aid eye wash stations that work just as well as the originals.
What are generic drugs? They are really nothing more than inexpensive copies of more popular brand name drugs. They have all the same effects and side effects as the original, but they cost 50 to 70 percent less. Why are they so cheap?
That's easy. Generic drug companies don't spend any money on advertising. They compete solely on price and they leave it to the consumer to find them. And when patients are forced to pay for a drug out of their own pocket, they almost always do the reach and purchase generic medications over the originals.
The one immutable law of any marketplace is that deals are always out there. But because most people are busy, they will only look for them when they must. And that is why most men are now purchasing these generic drugs online.
