What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

    Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a hormone involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and reproductive system. Estradiol hemihydrate is a hydrated form of estradiol, meaning it contains water molecules in its crystalline structure, which can affect its stability and solubility. Both forms are used in hormone replacement therapies, but the hemihydrate form may be chosen for its specific pharmacokinetic properties.
