The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires generics to be the same as brand-name drugs in several critical areas:

• Active Ingredients: They must contain the exact same active pharmaceutical ingredient.
• Effectiveness: Generics must be bioequivalent, meaning they deliver the same amount of active ingredient to the bloodstream in the same amount of time.
• Safety & Quality: Both must meet identical standards for manufacturing, strength, purity, and stability.
• Usage: They must have the same dosage form (e.g., tablet vs. liquid), strength, and route of administration.

• Cost: Generics are typically 80–85% cheaper than brand-name versions. This is because generic manufacturers do not have to repeat the expensive initial research, clinical trials, or heavy marketing that the original developer did.
• Inactive Ingredients: Generics may use different fillers, binders, flavors, or dyes. While these do not change how the medicine works, they may occasionally cause different reactions in people with specific sensitivities or allergies.
• Appearance: By law, generics cannot look identical to the brand-name drug. They often vary in color, shape, size, and packaging due to trademark protections.
• Availability: Generics only become available after the brand-name drug’s patent expires, which usually takes about 20 years from the time of filing.
