What Makes Brand and Generic Drugs Different?

While brand-name drugs are first to market, generic versions contain the same active ingredient and meet the same safety standards—at a fraction of the cost.

Generics are less expensive because manufacturers don’t pay the original research and development costs. They are equally safe, equally effective, and regulated just as strictly.
