What is the difference between brand name and generic?
Brand named drugs are those drugs that were first developed by the pharmaceutical company. Generic is a COPY of a drug. In my opinion Brand name drugs are a little more potent (better). The more you copy something the less it becomes. My dad worked for a pharmaceutical company Lilly Corp. and says Brand is better. Its more expensive but better. This is true when it comes to opiate pain killers!!
Why are generic drugs not as expensive as the patented drugs?
Generic drugs are not as expensive as the patented drugs because they are not under patent protection. The manufacturers of generic drugs do not have to pay for the research and development costs that the manufacturers of patented drugs do. Generic drugmakers also don't have to worry about recouping those costs through high prices. 24healthgoods
