I had met people who have a complete knowledge of the generic medicines, yet they still choose the brand without giving any reason.

Why are they doing that?

    NGL expected a different conversation when I saw the title.

    In America, you can get defaulted to a generic medication in a lot of instances. For example if the doctor prescribes X, the pharmacy can sub “X generic”. The doctor can explicitly state not to do that if they feel this is bad for the patient.

    All of this is usually good for the end consumer, as generics are usually a lot cheaper. I suspect a lot of your friends are taking generics without knowing.
