As a multinational initiative to accelerate access to high-quality generic medicines, Dr Reddy¡¯s Laboratories Ltd has developed the Generic dRug Adoption Framework. Currently available in four languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian) and four (Malaysia, Brazil, Colombia, and Ukraine) countries, the framework will enable physicians and pharmacists to identify high-quality generics and help towards switching from originator to generic medicines. This can help to increase the adoption and access for generic medicines. The platform is not intended to guide treatment decisions but can help healthcare providers to differentiate a high-quality generic medicine based on parameters of effectiveness, safety, quality, and costs %K Generic dRug adoption framework %K generics %K perception %K adoption %K access %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1741134319833122
