The main differences between generic AGA drugs made in Japan and generic AGA drugs made in the Philippines are as follows. The basic structure is similar in effectiveness as long as the active ingredients are the same, but there may be differences in manufacturing standards, quality control, and price.
1. Manufacturing standards and quality control
- Made in Japan
- Generic drugs in Japan are manufactured and marketed after meeting strict approval standards by the Japanese drug regulatory authority ( PMDA: Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency).Thorough quality control and monitoring of the manufacturing process ensure that high standards are maintained from manufacturing to distribution.
- Made in the Philippines
- Generic drugs are also approved in the Philippines by the drug regulatory authority ( FDA Philippines ), but not all of the same strict standards as in Japan regarding manufacturing may apply. Many Philippine pharmaceutical companies adhere to certain quality control standards, but the regulations may not be as strict as those in Japan.
2. Price
- Made in Japan
- Generic drugs manufactured in Japan are typically more expensive than those made in the Philippines due to manufacturing costs and strict regulatory standards. Quality assurance and safety are priorities in Japan, and consumer confidence is high.
- Made in the Philippines
- Because of lower pharmaceutical costs in the Philippines, prices of generic drugs made in the Philippines tend to be lower than those made in Japan. This is due to lower labor and manufacturing costs than in Japan.
3. Additives and formulations
- Made in Japan
- In Japanese generic drugs, strict standards are applied to additives and drug coatings, and the quality and stability of the tablets are well controlled.This ensures stable absorption efficiency and long-lasting effects of the medicines.
- Made in the Philippines
- Generic drugs made in the Philippines contain basically the same active ingredients, but may have different additives and formulations. Care should be taken when using Philippine-made products, as the additives may affect some body types.
4. Availability and reliability

If not purchased through reliable channels, quality assurance and safety issues may arise. In addition, since generic drugs made in the Philippines are not legally recognized in Japan, there are restrictions on their use in medical institutions.
