People often think generic drugs have inferior quality, but this is definitely not true. The producers of generic drugs follow the same strict rules and regulations imposed by the FDA/WHO like the producers of brand medication. Generics and brand drugs are 100% identical, work just as fast and offer the same safety and reliability.

Now you’re probably wondering; “Why should I buy generics if they are just the same like brand medication?” The actual question should be why you would be willing to pay more for brand medication if it is 100% identical to the much cheaper generics? The reason why original brand drugs are much more expensive is the R&D and marketing costs of both companies. The companies producing the generic drugs don’t have expensive marketing plans or research and development departments; they work low-cost. This doesn’t mean they produce their generics in unsafe environments, their production facilities are just as modern as the ones producers of brand medication have.
