Can I Take Generic Drugs




The answer to this question is most likely, yes. They are bioequivalent to the original type.

They will release the same amount of active ingredient to the blood stream over the same amount of time. So this means that they will work exactly the same way.

The regulation and safety of the generic drugs is just as tough as the name brand goes through.

Generic drugs are made in exactly the same way as the name brand and the facilities that they are made in have to listen to the same rules and guidelines.

Companies that also produce the name brand ones produce Fifty percent of generic drugs.

Generic drugs look different to the name brand because the look of the name brand pill is often going to be patented. This means that the generic version ahs to look different in some way but the active ingredients are always the same.

Most drugs are prescribed as generics.

You should talk to your doctor about the medication that you are prescribed if you have any concerns or questions. They should be able to give you an accurate description of the drug. They will tell you the side effects and anything that is important.

Generic drugs are cheaper than the original so they can reduce the medical bills better. They will sometimes be available when the name brand is not so easy to find.
