Friday, November 4th, 2011Cheap Alternatives of Prescription Medications. Cenerics online.
Monday, April 27th, 2009The rising cost of prescription medication is of great concern to many United States residents. This isn’t a new problem. This is a growing problem just like the increasing number of people without enough insurance. Prescription medications are expensive, and many people are looking for cheap alternatives. Prescription medications like these are not a luxury. Many times they save lives and help people have a better quality of life. They choose cheap generic medications.
What, if any, differences exist between brand-name and generic prescription drugs?
Have you ever wondered why there are two signature lines on your doctor’s prescription order? The small print beneath one line reads “product selection permitted,” while the other says something to the effect of “dispense as prescribed.”
So, whether the physician indicates only a specific prescription brand should be filled, or allows the possibility of alternatives, is determined by the signature’s location on the prescription form. The manufacturers of brand name drugs, of course, hold that their products out perform generic medications. Manufacturers of generic medications tell you that there is no difference in the two.
What is the truth?
Brand name medications as opposed to generic drugs have the same active ingredients. If the same dose of that active ingredient is given for the same intended use, and the same method of administration is used at the same strength, then the two also have the same risks and side effects.
The price difference between generic and brand name drugs stems from the fact that research, development, testing, patent, and marketing costs have to be recouped by the makers of the brand name drug. The brand name of a drug can only be used by the manufacturer who originally developed it. That manufacturer is the only one who can sell that medicine that they developed and tested for a certain period of time.
If a generic drug company has permission by law to manufacture the medication as well, they don’t have to put the same amount of money into manufacturing and testing of the medication. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires drug manufacturers to do efficacy tests to be sure active ingredients are properly absorbed and can be used, preliminary testing and development research expenses aren’t required for generic drug companies.
