Generic Drugs

 

 

Have questions about generic drugs? Please ask us, or check out our previous Q&As below...

  • What is a generic drug? (And other generic drug faqs!)
  • Why don't my generic pills look like the brand-name?
  • How do drugs go from being prescription-only to being available over-the-counter?
  • How can I make sure I am getting a drug that is effective, safe and affordable? How can I help my doctor get unbiased information? 
  • Only one of my prescription drugs is available as a generic. Why does it take so long for generic drugs to become available?

For more information on how consumers can benefit from choosing generic drugs, visit the Generics Are Powerful website.

For more information on drug industry practices to prevent generic drugs from coming to the market, see our Fact Sheet  and our blogs  on pay-for-delay settlements.
