What’s the difference between a generic
and brand-name drug?
There is actually not much difference, except for the name and
the price. A generic drug is called by its chemical name; that
the manufacturer assigns it. The generic products have the same
ingredients as the brand name drugs. Standard practice and
most state laws require that a generic drug be generically
equivalent to its brand-name counterpart. That is, it must have
the same active ingredients, strength, and dosage form—pill,
liquid, or injection. The generic drug also must be
therapeutically equivalent—it must be the same chemically and
have the same medical effect. So why not save money and purchase
the generic version, today! |
