Generic Drugs
Generic Drugs are safe, effective and FDA-approved.
What is a generic drug?
A generic drug is a copy of a brand-name medication and must have the same quality, safety, and strength.
Are generic drugs safe?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wants you to know that generic drugs are safe and work well. We have the proof to back it up. These drugs have labels that stay the same, are made under strict standards, go through performance tests, are the same as the original drug, pass purity checks and have guaranteed quality.
Why are generic drugs less expensive?
Making a drug costs a lot of money. Generic drug makers don't have to create a drug from the beginning, so it costs them less to sell it. They have to prove that their product works just like the brand-name drug. The FDA approves all generic drugs.
