Where are generic medications made?
70-80 percent of Brand-name facilities make generic medications inside their institution. They may even make duplicate versions of their own brand-name product. The FDA does not allow any medication to be manufactured in substandard or poor conditions. The FDA officials inspect more than 5,000 manufacturing plants a year to ensure that quality is maintained. Question 6: Will there be more side effects with a generic medication? Answer: The FDA actually keeps a record of adverse drug reactions caused by medication. Researchers at the FDA have studied these reports and have found no difference in the amounts of adverse drug reactions between generic and brand- name medications.
