A generic drug is a copy that is the same as a brand-name medicine in dosage, safety, strength, the way it is taken, quality, performance and intended use.
We strongly recommend generic forms of a medicine, whenever they are available, rather than brand-name ones. A generic drug is a copy which is the same to a brand-name drug in dosage, safety, strength, the way it is taken, quality, performance and intended use. Generic drugs are therapeutically equivalent to their brand-name counterparts. That means they contain the same chemical ingredients and have the same medical effect. The differences between a generic and brand-name drug are the name and the price. A generic drug can be up to 80% less expensive in comparison to an equivalent brand-named medicine. Secondary characteristics can be different, as well. These may include color, flavor and inactive ingredients.
