What are Generic Drugs?
When a company develops a
new drug, it gives the drug two names, the generic name
which is the name of the chemical compound that makes up
the drug and the brand name, which is what the
manufacturer calls the product.
The
company patents the drug for 20 years giving them the
exclusive and legal right to manufacture and market the
drug. Once the patent expires, the drug may be manufactured
and sold by other companies under a different brand name or
under its generic (chemical compound) brand name.
There is
no difference between the manufacturing standards set for
generic pharmaceutical companies and those set for brand
pharmaceutical companies. Sometimes the generic version of a
drug may have a different color or different shape from its
brand name counterpart. These differences have no effect on
the medical action of the drug. They are created simply to
distinguish the appearance of one drug from another. Generic
drugs typically are less expensive than their brand name
counterparts.
Viagra for example is a
product name and Sildenafil Citrate is the generic name.
Again Cialis is a product name and Tadalafil is the generic
name.
