What are Generic Drugs?Written by Ian L
When a drug company first invents a drug that company is only one permitted to make that drug in same country for a certain number of years. After this time period, other companies are allowed to make same drug product. These drugs are called generic drugs. The original drug (e.g. Viagra) is called a brand name drug.Brand name drugs and their generics are IDENTICAL in terms of actual active ingredients. The generic pills may look different (because they are made by a different company) but inside is exactly same active ingredients, which works in exactly same way. The only difference between brand name drugs and generic drugs is that generics are always much less expensive. Savings of up to 80% can be made by purchasing generic drugs instead of namebrand medication. Are these same drugs as name brand products? Generic medication and name brand equivalents are identical. All pharmaceuticals are simply various recipes of common chemical raw ingredients.
