What do generic prescription drugs look like?

Generic prescription drugs have different colors, shapes and appearances, depending on how they are made and by what pharmaceutical company. This is the same as branded drugs that have different colors, shapes, sizes, etc. What's important isn't how they look but what ingredients are in each drug whether generic or branded. And, generic drugs have the same effective ingredient (medication) as the branded version. However, generics typically cost much less than branded, mainly because generic drug makers have much lower marketing costs associated with their medications, compared to those at branded drug makers.
