Generic Meds

A generic drug is one that is manufactured to have the same active ingredients as an existing brand-name drug. The salient features of generic medications are outlined below:

Same Active Ingredients: The active ingredients in generic medications are identical to those in brand-name medications, both in terms of quantity and potency. This indicates that they have similar physiological effects and therapeutic outcomes.

Lower Cost: Generic medications are substantially less expensive than brand-name medications because generic producers do not have to recover the hefty R&D expenses associated with developing a new drug.
