Use of generic medicines in Latvia: awareness, opinions and experiences of the population

ConclusionThis study demonstrates that people in Latvia are aware of generic medicines but only a minority of the population would choose them when presented with a choice. It is therefore important that health care professionals provide objective and unbiased information about generic medicines to their patients. Interventions should aim to reach groups that are less informed and to improve providers ’ understanding and communication with patients about generics.
