Looking through pages of on-line pharmacies you may turn attention to the word “generic”, which stay before the names of many medications.

What does it mean for you, a consumer of medicines? Let us try to puzzle out this question.

Normally pharmaceuticals companies-developers will spend dozens of years and millions of dollars to invent and study a new medicine. Generic is but a precise chemical copy of a successfully tasted (as a rule during 10-30 years) preparation, the authorship for production of which has run out. Generic does not carry the cost of invention of the substance, that is why it is significantly cheaper than the brand.

Moreover, several pharmaceuticals companies are engaged in the production of generics at the same time, the competition between them also have a positive effect to the generic price.

Pharmaceuticals industry is one of the most controlled sectors in the entire world, both by public bodies and international organizations. Any medication regardless whether it is an original or but its full copy, is subjected to full quality control. Moreover, before being introduced to the market generic is tested for a full compliance to the original medication.

Do all the medications, existing at the market for a long time, have generics?

No, not all. To be copied only the medicines that approved themselves. Only the efficient and safe preparations with time-tested action will have generics.
