The greatest value a person has is health. With serious illnesses, expensive things and luxurious cars cease to please, and only one desire remains - to recover. By nature, it is so laid down that the average life expectancy of men is shorter than that of women. They endure diseases more difficult, their body is more fragile than a woman's, despite the priority in physical strength. Therefore, men's health needs even more reverent care and increased attention than women's.

Analogues, or generics (from the English Generic drug) are drugs that basically have such an amount of active substance of the same quality as the original medicine. Analogues occupy about 60% of the pharmaceutical market.
The process of creating generics is less expensive and faster than the original, which leads to a low price for them. The parent drug and generic drug have the same international nonproprietary name (INN) and the same dosage form (tablets, suppositories, etc.), but different trade names, different packaging and different manufacturers.
The excipients used to create the drug and the quality of the raw materials from which they are made will also differ. As a rule, in generics, both of these indicators are lower than in the original. As excipients, they often use magnesium stearate, corn starch, lactose monohydrate, dyes and flavors are added.
Analogues do not undergo a full course of clinical trials and do not have patent protection, unlike the original prototype. This has a positive effect on the price, but the effectiveness of such a medicine may be lower.
