Are generics really as good as the original brands?
A. Yes. They contain the same active ingredient in the same dose as reference products and are produced to the same rigorous quality standards, with the same expected efficacy and safety standards. Like reference products, generics are manufactured in plants that meet GMP (Good manufacturing Practice) standards and are inspected periodically by regulatory authorities. In addition, once a generic is available on the market, the manufacturer must monitor the product for any adverse events.
