What is meant by genaric?

Answer 1

Generic means it is not a brand name product sold in multiple stores. Target, CVS, grocery stores, etc., make and sell their own versions of popular medicines. These are generics.

In a broader sense, a brand name can become generic when people use it to refer to the broad category of similar products, rather than to the specific branded product. For example, the brand name Frigidaire for a refrigerator became generic in the 1950s. The brand name Kleenex became generic around the same time. In the United Kingdom, the brand name Hoover became generic in the 1930s as a name for vacuum cleaners. In each case the name came to be used to mean any refrigerator, any paper facial tissue, any vacuum cleaner, regardless of who made it.

Answer 2

Not having a brand name. For example, Scotch Tape vs adhesive tape.

Answer 3

GENERIC usually applies to unbranded drugs EG Disprin is a brand name for Aspirin.Branded drugs are usually more expensive
