Remarks
- What are generic drugs?
- When a drug company first invents a drug that
company is the only one allowed to make that drug
for a certain number of years (approximately 10
years in the US). After this time period, other
companies are allowed to make the same drug. These
drugs are called generics. The original drug is
called a brand name drug. Brand name drugs and their
generics are IDENTICAL in terms of active
ingredients. The generic pills may look different
(because they are made by a different company) but
inside is exactly the same active ingredient which
works in exactly the same way. The only difference
between brand name drugs and generic drugs is that
generics are always less expensive.
