I'm having this pain in my left leg that's been bothering me for about 15 days now. I'm 84 and have a history of heart issues, so I'm regularly on medications like Ecospirin, Amlokind for my blood pressure, and some others like Nitrolong and Losar, though I've recently stopped taking Renozex. The pain hits me when I walk. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI've had angioplasty done and have a stent implanted. My doctor recommended some drugs from companies like Sun Pharma, MacLeod, and Lupin, but they're a bit pricey for me. Are there other reputable brands that make equivalent quality medications for Rozavel 2mg, Prax A 75mg, and Voglimac GM 2mg at a lower cost? Also, can I ask the pharmacy for generic versions of cholesterol-lowering drugs if I have a prescription for the more expensive branded ones? Are generics reliable when it comes to quality assurance and control?
Substitute for rozavel 2mg: You can consider Atorva 20mg (Atorvastatin) from Cipla or Rosuvast 10mg (Rosuvastatin) from Torrent Pharmaceuticals. Substitute for Prax A 75mg: You can try Clopid 75mg (Clopidogrel) from Intas Pharmaceuticals or Plavix 75mg (Clopidogrel) from Sanofi. Substitute for voglimac gm 2mg: You may opt for Glycomet GP 2 (Metformin + Glimepiride) from USV or Glyciphage G1 (Metformin + Glimepiride) from Franco-Indian Pharmaceuticals. Regarding generic cholesterol-reducing drugs, yes, you can purchase generic versions of cholesterol-lowering medications with a prescription from your doctor. Generic medications are generally considered to be equivalent in quality to their brand-name counterparts as they undergo the same rigorous testing for quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) by regulatory authorities.
