About Generics

Generic pharmaceuticals are a safe and effective alternative to brand name drugs. The generic medications are the same as the brand name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics, and intended use. Generic manufacturing and packaging sites must pass the same quality standards as the brand name drugs.
