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.

    “Endangered My Life with Reckless Service
    I want to express my deep disappointment and frustration with this Canada pharmacy, whose reckless actions have put my life in serious danger. When I initially engaged with them to process my medication, I still had a stock of 30 doses of pills, which I took one per day. However, their negligence and lack of communication left me with only 5 pills by the time they finally informed me of an issue with my prescription.

    Considering that I rely on this medication to function in my daily life, their delay and subsequent failure to fulfill my order have left me in a perilous situation. I am unable to move or function without this medication, and with only 5 pills remaining, I am faced with the daunting task of trying to secure medication from another pharmacy.

    It is unfathomable to me how they could prioritize payment collection over ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of fulfilling prescriptions. Their actions not only demonstrate a profound lack of professionalism but also a callous disregard for the well-being of their customers.

    I urge anyone considering utilizing this pharmacy to reconsider and explore alternative options. The consequences of their incompetence are not merely inconvenient but potentially life-threatening.”
