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.

Contraindications
Eryped should not be used in patients who are allergic to the medication. It should also not be used in patients who are taking terfenadine, astemizole, cisapride, pimozide, ergotamine, or dihydroergotamine. Ask your doctor if you are unsure whether you take these medications.
Cautions
- Before you start taking Eryped, talk to your doctor about:
- All the prescription and over-the-counter medications you take
- Your allergies
- Your current health problems and past medical history
- Your pregnancy or breastfeeding status
- Liver problems have been reported in patients taking oral erythromycin.

- Some patients have experienced worsening symptoms of myasthenia gravis or new onset of symptoms of myasthenic syndrome while taking erythromycin.

- Taking erythromycin for a long period of time or repeatedly can cause a superinfection.
