Generic Medicines
What are generic medicines?
- Generic medicines are defined as “a drug product that is comparable to a brand/reference listed drug product in dosage form, strength, quality, performance, and intended use."
- The Research and Development Departments in pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing firms are mainly responsible for starting their drug discovery, development, and finally marketing the new patent drugs after the approval of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The patent drug usually lasts for some years to give the company a chance to recoup its research investment. Once the patent drug completes its period in the market, a generic version of the same drug is made available in the market. Generics are marketed under the drug's chemical or generic name and meet the same FDA quality and standards of the original drug.
