Ethical drugs are the â??brand nameâ?? option and are more heavily tested and monitored. These are usually only available with a doctorâ??s prescription. Generic drugs have less review, and cost less than ethical drugs.

What is the difference between the generic drug name and the brand drug name?
They say (I still don't know who they are ) that the only difference between the two is this : Name Brand drug hold a patent on said drugs , Once that runs out Company's are able to make the same drug but can not use the same name that is why you always see generic for on the bottle.

Is there a difference between a brand name and generic drug?
Absolutely not. Unlike brand-name foods and generic versions (say, Coca-Cola and "Walmart Cola"), a brand-name and generic drug consist of the identical active ingredient with the same molecular structure. The generic drug has been tested to have the same absorbance as the brand-name compound and js approved by the FDA. The generic drug is just a fraction of the cost of the brand-name. Why would anyone buy a brand-name drug in the first place? Whenever a new drug is developed, the company that first releases it hold the patent and the exclusive rights to be the only one making that drug for a certain time. If you want to buy a new drug, you can only buy the brand-name version of it. After a while, the patent expires, and other companies can make their own generic versions available. At that point, most people will buy the generic, but I suppose some poor saps are so swayed by marketing that they insist on buying the brand-name drug, or believe that there's some difference between generics and brand-names drugs. I have to disagree with this answer, it may be true of some drugs, but anyone who has ever taken say, generic vs brand name xanax, or generic vs brand name vicodin, can surely attest to there being a pretty big difference between the effect of the 2 just look around the web, its well documented. generic brands are allowed a 25% margin of error for some drugs and less for others, so some generics may be the same but for some they are not.
What drug is generic atorvastatin?

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!!
