Medications
Most health specialists confirm that generic drugs are just as safe and effective as brand-name medicines. Not to mention way cheaper. So why pay hundreds of dollars on brand-names when you can get generic drugs with the same performance as their costlier counterparts for much less?
Whether they are generic or brand-name, all medications have to comply with certain safety standards imposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to the FDA, “when a generic drug product is approved, it has met rigorous standards established by the FDA with respect to identity, strength, quality, purity, and potency.”
To understand the difference between generic and brand-name medications, just know that generics have helped Americans save $1.67 trillion over the last decade!
