Why do so many people use Brand name medications?

I noticed that almost all people buy brand name medication. The major difference between brand name and generic, i.e the store equivalent is the price. Just read the ingredients of both or ask the pharmacist. You will save money. Also for symptoms of a
cold, sore throat etc. I use Echinacea, L-lysine,Vitamins B an CI already take niacin. So far it has worked fine. A progressive sore throat, take my pills , and gone the next morning. Check mwith your Dr first!!

Can taking a wide variety of vitamins effect your urinary tract?

Yesterday, my friend began taking Multi-vitamins(2x a day), vitamin B-Complex, vitamin C (2x a day), and Echinacea. That night, she said her urine smelled a little like amonia. This morning, it's bothering her to urinate, as if she is developing a bladder infection. Can taking all of these cause this to happen? She drinks a lot of water, so it's kind of mind boggling.

What is your best remedy for a nasty, burning sore throat? (Read the comments!)?

I am overseas and currently staying at an out-of-the way spa & have limited access to grocery store/liquor store goods, there is NO Western pharmacy here at all! Does anyone have any truly good remedies - other than taking vitamin c, gargling with salt & hot water, or drinking hot water & fresh-squeezed lemon juice, or taking garlic or ginger which is a natural antibiotic and boost to the immune system? I have echinacea drops & infusion with me but nothing is helping my throat tonight...it is preventing me from sleeping and it is very painful. Thx in advance to the serious replies.

He is obsessed with herbs and vitamins. How to tell if he is nuts?

He spends at least 00 a year on vitamins and herbal remedies. There is no rhyme or reason to what he is taking, but he mixes about 30-45 different herbs together in a vita mixer, shoves them in capsules and takes 15 of them a day. This includes echinacea, diminia root, milk thistle, some kind of bilberry root or something, and I could go on and on and on.
Where do you think he got this crazy idea to take all this stuff every day. He thinks it is going to make him healthier and has it in his head if he doesnt take them, he doesnt feel well. I am afraid he is going to kill himself with herbs.
Do you think he is nuts or does he have some valid points taking thousands of dollars worth of herbs every year?
