A generic drug is identical, or bioequivalent to a brand name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use. Other than the name, a generic drug is called by its chemical name while a brand name drug is named by the pharmaceutical company for marketing purposes.
Currently, there are generic versions of some 47%
of prescription medications. When acetaminophen was developed in the 1950s
as a pain reliever, it was only available under its brand name, Tylenol.

Additional Generic Drug Information
(Use caution prior to ordering generic drugs online.)
Once a brand name drug's patent expires a
pharmaceutical company must submit the new generic version of a brand name
drug to multiple clinical trials comparing the brand name drug with the new
generic form. Once the generic form is proved to be as bioequivalent
(therapeutically equivalent) to the brand name medication, the generic
medication may then be prescribed with confidence as interchangeable with
regards to the brand name medication.
This is true only for those generic drugs that are manufactured in countries
that honor and accept international patent laws. Please see the generic drug

Buying Generic Drugs Online

CAUTION |
Concerning buying generic drugs online |
If the above mentioned brand name "lifestyle
drugs" are not available secondary to patent laws why do I see
advertisements for "Generic Levitra Vardenavil"Generic Viagra - Sildenafil
Citrate", "Generic Cialis - Tadalafil", "Generic Reductil - Sibutramine"
online?
The above question represents a very frequently asked question in regards to generic drugs. The answer is some countries do not honor patent laws. Most forged generic drugs manufactured outside international patent laws are manufactured by "pirate pharmaceutical companies" in countries, such as, India.
Under current Indian law, which recognizes patent laws only on the manufacturing procedure to make drugs but not the drugs themselves. This means that "pirate pharmaceutical companies" in India can make drugs under patent, provided they use a manufacturing process that is different from the original brand name medication. These "pirate pharmaceutical companies" are making so called generic drugs using a different method of manufacturing than the original brand name medication. The difference in manufacturing policies can often result in inferior or possibly unsafe drugs.
In addition, in many of these countries that allow "pirate pharmaceutical companies" to essentially break international patent laws and manufacture drugs that are still under patent there are very few if any quality control regulations. Just something to think about prior to buying drugs form these rogue internet websites.
In addition, since these "pirate pharmaceutical companies" must manufacture their drugs in countries that do not adhere to patent laws and/or have very limited quality control regulations so the drugs must be imported into Europe. Therefore, they are not shipping within the European Union so they are subject to import tariffs or worse they are denied entry into the country and the drugs are either destroyed or returned to the sender.
If an individual does his or
her research prior to buying these counterfeit drugs from these rogue
internet pharmacies in somewhere on the website in very small print there
will be disclaimers stating that the "pirate pharmaceutical companies" are
not responsible for lost orders, tariffs, or seized orders by customs.
Please Note: Do you really want to give your credit card details, as well as, you personal information to individuals that are selling illegal drugs online? When your so call "generic drug" order is confiscated by customs do you think these unscrupulous individuals are really going to issue you a refund?
The following represents an actual disclaimer from one of these rogue websites:
You are fully responsible for all taxes, duties, tariffs and customs laws imposed on all drug imports to your country. We cannot be held responsible or accountable for any costs that you have incurred in relation to your order. If an order is destroyed or seized, you will not receive a refund.
Before you place your order, please be sure of your local customs laws concerning the shipment of drugs. We cannot be held responsible or accountable for any taxes, duties, tariffs or any quarantine fees or package warehousing fees assessed by your local customs office.
If an item is returned to us due to a customs related issue, you will be billed for the drugs regardless. In addition, your credit card will be charged the extra shipping costs incurred by our pharmacy to retrieve the drugs. You will not be credited for drugs that are returned. If we are charged for taxes and duties on the shipment, we will post the charge to your credit card.
We indicate the contents of all packages as “Food Supplements-Not for Resale”. Do not order items from us that are illegal to import into your country. Laws are different in every country and we cannot keep up with them all. It is your responsibility to check with your Customs office to see if your country permits the shipment of our drugs to your country. Please do not ask us to claim a "gift" or other incorrect description.
The above disclaimer protects these
rogue internet websites from any potential "chargebacks" a "chargeback" is a
refund that is forced by a cardholder's credit card company or bank. A
"chargeback" is the direct result of a cardholder reporting a problem to
their credit card company or bank. The credit card company or bank looks at
the report, and, in our case, takes the money back from retailer and gives
the money to the credit card holder following an in depth investigation of
reported fraudulent activities.
The above disclaimer protects these rogue internet websites from any
potential "chargebacks" because the consumer is essentially agreeing to any
risks associated with the shipment of the drugs prior to ordering the drugs
online. So you cannot dispute the charge with Visa, MasterCard, American
Express.
If brand name drugs and generic drugs have the same active ingredients, why do they look different?
The generic versions of the medication, although chemically identical to their branded medication they will often have a different shape and color to help distinguish their appearance from other medications. Generic drugs must duplicate the active ingredient, however, colors, flavors, and certain other inactive ingredients may be different. In addition, trademark laws do not allow a generic drug to look exactly like the brand name drug.
In conclusion, are individuals really saving money buying generic drugs online?
There are legitimate generic versions of some 42 percent of brand name medications that can be purchase at a substantial savings. However, this leaves some 58% of brand name medications that do not have legitimate generic counterparts. Legitimate Generic medications are less expensive secondary to generic manufacturers do not have the investment costs of developing a new medication. New medications must go through different phases of extensive testing that can cost between 200-500 million dollars prior to being approved. In addition, once the medication is approved the pharmaceutical company must market the medication to the public, as well as, physicians and other healthcare personnel.
As prescription medication patents near expiration, other
pharmaceutical manufacturers can apply to sell generic versions of the name
brand drug. In order to get approval as a generic version of an already
approved brand name drug the initial testing is not required. Because
generic drug manufacturers do not have the same development costs, they can
sell their drugs at substantial savings. In addition, the approval of
generic drugs promotes competition which further decreases prices.
