Due to their lower price, generic medicines bring direct cost savings both to the patients and the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela). In Finland, some 50 million prescriptions are issued every year. The more generic medicines are prescribed, the higher the savings. Finnish pharmacies also offer generic substitution, where customers are given the option of purchasing a more affordable alternative, whenever available.
