What you will receive
Precose is the originator brand name, made by Bayer. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with Bayer and do not ship the original Precose.
- You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Acarbose) at the same dose, mostly recognised Indian branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- A regulated generic matches the original ingredient for ingredient by legal standard.
