Consumers: About Generics

Brand name drugs are often innovator products manufactured by the firm that originally developed or produced the product and held the patent. During the patent term, up to twenty years, this firm has exclusive rights to market the product.

Upon patent expiration, and after extensive testing and qualification, additional pharmaceutical manufacturers can apply for and receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration to produce a product equivalent in every material respect to the innovator brand.

These generic drugs are bioequivalent to the brand and have the same quality, safety and efficacy as their branded counterparts.

One of the best reasons to embrace generic drugs is the tremendous cost savings. The high cost of some brand name drugs is staggering. Generic drugs are available at a substantially reduced price to help manage health care costs.

Ask your health care professional if your brand name prescription is available in a generic form.
