Branded drugs cost more because their prices reflect the drug companies’ attempts to recoup the costs of research, development, testing and expensive marketing and advertising campaigns. Once Generic Medicines go on the market, savings have been passed along to the consumer.

Each BFAD approved generic drug is required to be as effective and contain the same active ingredients like its brand-name counterpart. This assurance lets you know that you are not wasting your money on alternative drugs that are less expensive, but are equally effective as their branded counterparts.
