Let’s bust this pharmacy myth!
MYTH: Generic medications are “weaker” or not as effective as brand name drugs.
TRUTH: Generics have the same active ingredients, same strength, and must meet the same Health Canada standards as brand name meds.
The only difference? You save money.

Have questions about your meds? We’re always here to explain — no judgment, just facts.
