What does a term generic medication mean?
To those who never happened to come across the term of generic drug it may seem unusual. But it is quite simple. When you come to a drug store you can choose from the medications produced by famous companies, carrying an easily recognizable brand name and just simple medications that can be characterized as from “no one”. The latter considered as generics. Actually, there is no great difference between the trade mark aspirin and just simple aspirin. They always have the same ingredients as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, it’s just that you have to pay more for the brand. When you take a generic drug it is the same either in dose or effect or safety, just no brand name.
