WHY BUY GENERIC DRUGS?
The difference between a brand name medicine and a generic one is in
the name, shape and in the price. A generic drug is usually called by
the name of the active ingredient while a manufacturer uses a brand
name. However, a manufacturer cannot possess a patent for a certain
chemical agent, this is why manufacturers of generic medications can
legally produce the so-called "generics". They are the same chemically
and since the active ingredient is identical, they have the same
medical effect. Thus buying a generic medication one pays less but gets
the very same result.
