What Are Generic Drugs?

A generic drug contains the same exact pharmaceutical agent as the brand name drug, the only difference is brand names are more expensive because of the name itself, and not because of the drug's effectiveness or lack of it.

Generic drugs are cost affordable and can only be produced once the patent of a brand name drug expires. Generic companies are able to manufacture the same chemical ingredients that are found in brand name drugs at substantially reduced costs.
