Generic VS Original Medication: What’s the difference?

Generic medications are a chemical copy of the original brand, with the same active ingredients. Yet generic drugs cost up to 85% less than the branded version! Approved generic medicines work in the same way and provide the same clinical benefits as their brand-name counterparts, and are required to have the same dosage, safety, effectiveness, strength, stability and quality. So why the big difference in price? It’s actually quite simple. Once the patent of an original medicine has expired, generics can enter the market through a shortened approval process. Because generics use the same active ingredients as the branded drugs, they do not have to undergo the same testing.

The best way to understand more about the medication your doctor has prescribed is to speak with your trusted pharmacist. We’ll advise you on the most cost-effective options available so that your chronic benefits will last longer. We’re here for you!
