Generally, generic Ivermectin is significantly cheaper than branded versions in India. You can expect to pay considerably less for the generic formulation.
The price difference stems from the research and marketing costs associated with branded drugs. Generic manufacturers don’t bear these expenses, allowing them to offer lower prices while maintaining the same quality and efficacy, as long as they meet stringent regulatory standards.
To illustrate the difference, consider this hypothetical example (prices vary by location and pharmacy):
| Branded Ivermectin (e. g., Mectizan) | 5-15 |
| Generic Ivermectin | 1-3 |
Note: These are estimated prices. Actual costs may fluctuate depending on the pharmacy, dosage, and packaging. Always confirm pricing directly with your local pharmacy.
Before purchasing, check for regulatory approvals from the Indian drug regulatory authorities to ensure quality and safety. Buying from reputable pharmacies minimizes risks.
