Are Generics as Good as Brand Names?
Do you know the differences between FDA approved generic medications and brand name meds? Both drugs have the same active ingredients. Brand-name drugs are the first on the market and cost much more in order to recoup the money spent to develop the drugs. The manufacturers have several years of exclusivity due to the patent on the drug. Once that time frame expires, any pharmaceutical company can make a generic version of the drug.
