Don’t be afraid of Generic drugs. The Food and Drug Administration also mandates that generic medicines be the same in chemical structure as brand name drugs. Inactive ingredients can be different, but non-brand name drugs work the exact way and have the same side effects, strength, safety and dosage as brand name drugs

Perhaps the color, shape and the flavor will not be the same, but generic drugs will work in an identical way to their brand name counterparts. It is actually a regulation that generic drugs must look different. You might also find that the name on the packaging of brand drugs will be capitalized while the names of generic drugs most often are not. The non-brand drugs go by their chemical name and so can be harder to spell, but the name has nothing to do with the drug’s effectiveness.

Before any drug can be prescribed it must first go through research and clinical trials by the drug manufacturer. This process can take many years and cost a great deal of money. After the research and trials, the drug can be patented and only the company holding the patent can produce and market the drug. The high price of the name brand drugs is to re-coup the expenses of getting the drug on the market and to fund new drug research.

Generic counterparts are allowed to be produced after the patent expires. A drug manufacturer must go though the FDA to be granted permission to produce each specific generic drug. Because this manufacturer did not have to go through the years of trials and research, the generic drugs are much less costly to make and it is the savings, instead, passed on to the consumer. The prices may also be reduced again when several manufacturers start producing the same drug.

Generic medicines must meet identical regulations as brand name drugs. The facilities where all drugs are manufactured are held accountable to very high standards, whether they are manufacturing brand or generic. Sometimes non-patented and patented drugs are produced in the same factory!

The US allows a pharmacist to substitute a brand name with a generic, without calling the doctor who wrote the prescription. However, this can not be done without the customer’s approval. So, you always have a choice when your doctor writes a prescription for a brand name drug, as long as you feel comfortable with the generic version and want to save money (and if the patent is no longer exclusive).

You may have health insurance that pays for your prescriptions or at least a portion of the cost, so you may not think that brand-less drugs are important to you. However, consider that your copayment will be less with generic and by going with the less expensive medicines you are helping to keep insurance and health care costs down.

Generic drugs will work as well as the name brand drugs, even though they make have a different appearance along with a different name and perhaps flavor because they are made under strict regulations, just like the brand name versions. The main difference is the generic drugs will save you money.
