Actually, those generics are the real thing. That is, from reputable manufacturers...in countries that are not bound by the owner's patent. Many of the generic manufacturers are in India. They ship worldwide. I can confirm, from usage of some of these meds myself, they are the real thing. They can make them generically because they are in a country where the patent does not have any value or legal relevance. Patents do not apply worldwide in every country.
I am sure there are some ripoff scams out there and some false drugs. But they are outnumbered by the legitimate reliable and reputable international pharmacies that ship to most countries. There are a good number of them. I have dealt personally with four of them. All excellent service, fast delivery considering traveling halfway around the world, and all generics felt like the real thing to me. Just one example, there is no mistaking how Modafinil feels. There is no mistake how Viagra feels. Some people at other forums even commented they prefer the Indian generic Modafinil to the real thing.
