Update: Mercury drug, probably the post popular drug store in the Philippines does not stalk ALL generic drugs. If you can not find the particular drug required, they do their best to find a substititue like/similar drug with same effect

Mercury drug is a very popular chain store. They stock many popular medications

One of the biggest pharmacy company here is called "Mercury Drug" .

Their site:

There’s Watsons here as well that sells medicine by generic but I prefer Mercury Drug because they have a wide selection of generic drugs compare to other pharmacy. Usually a really hard to find generic drugs can be found at big private hospitals pharmacy… like Medical City, Saint Lukes Hospitals etc.

yes! but you should know what kind of generic drugs you want because they mostly use different names and brands.
