Ms Sandra Gannon:

Absolutely. We continue to invest in the "Understand Generics" campaign and support pharmacies in helping patients to understand the active ingredient in generic and branded medicines is equivalent and works in the same way. The colour of the tablet might change or the packaging might look different, but, ultimately, the medication involved works in exactly the same way and the drugs are licensed and approved by the HPRA. We continue to invest in this area and have a website. In addition, we continue to supply pharmacies with material for patients.
