Is there a lower quality standard in plants producing generic products?
No. Brand-name facilities as well as generic facilities must meet the same standards of quality manufacturing practices. Every Pharmaceutical Company has to apply to the guidelines of the Health Authorities known as cGMP –> “current Good Manufacturing Practices”. In fact about 50% of generic drugs are produced by brand-name facilities. Brand-name companies often make copies of their own products and sell them without the brand name.
