Why are generic drugs so popular in USA?
Nearly two-third of prescriptions dispensed in the United States is filled with generic drugs. The reason is very simple. Doctors recommend Generic drugs as they provide the same medicines as the brands with the same results, but their prices are much more affordable for patients.
A generic medicine has to meet the same high standards as its brand counterpart to receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that the FDA must ensure that the generic and the brand have the same amount of active ingredients at the same strength, as well as the same dosage form, labeling and use. Generics must also follow the same high-quality manufacturing standards as the brand equivalents.
