Affordable Healthcare for All: New Website Launches to Slash Medicine Costs by Up to 80%
The new platform allows users to compare medicine prices, explore generic alternatives, and upload prescriptions for home delivery in multiple languages.
Ahmedabad, India:
Medkart Pharmacy, one of India’s fastest-growing generic medicine retail chains, has revealed its newly upgraded website aimed at making essential healthcare more inexpensive and approachable. The platform is outlined to entrust consumers with clearcut medicine pricing, an easy approach to generic alternatives, and doorstep delivery— enabling savings of up to 80% on generally prescribed drugs.
The revamped digital interface specifies a logical knowledge for users to match prices between branded and generic medicines, upload prescriptions securely, and approach multilingual support in Hindi, Gujarati, and more. With over 10 million customers served, Medkart continues its mission to close the awareness gap around generic medicines and make affordable treatment a nationwide reality.
Key Features of the New Website:
● Generic Medicine Comparison Tool: Enables real-time comparison between branded and generic equivalents.
● Prescription Upload & Delivery: Users can upload valid prescriptions for directto-doorstep delivery.
● Multilingual Interface: Available in regional languages including Hindi and Gujarati for broader reach.
● Verified Medicines Only: All generics are sourced from WHO-GMP and CDSCO-certified manufacturers.
Why This Matters:
A Costly Health Burden:
Despite being the world’s pharmacy, India sees 87% of its medicine sales dominated by branded generics—often costing 5 to 10 times more than their generic counterparts. This leads to unnecessary healthcare expenses for millions of families.
Low Public Awareness:
A web-based study involving 537 participants found that 78.6% had heard about generic medicines, and 66.2% understood the difference between generic and branded medicines.
However, 74.3% had never asked their doctors to prescribe generic medicines, indicating a gap between awareness and proactive patient behaviour.
Real Savings Examples:
Example 1 –
In line with its mission to make healthcare more affordable, Medkart offers significant discounts on various medications. For instance, the ISOTRETINOIN 20 MG Capsule 10s, commonly prescribed for severe acne, is available at ₹71, down from its MRP of ₹195—a 63.59 % savings. This allows patients to access effective treatment without financial strain. [05 May, 2025]
