generics are proved by the fda when they come to market. they do contain the same active ingredient as the brand they may differ though in the way that their tablets are made. they may have a different sugar or a different salt or a different color. now there are some classes of medications though where the brands maybe better for a patient such as thyroid medication there are blood thinners. we need to find that out based on patient by patient so individual decisions. but overall generics can be a great way for patients to save a little money and get the medication that they need.
are most generics as good as brand name medications?
