It’s safe to say that generic medicines have made a huge impact on the pharmaceutical industry over the past three decades. The idea of getting a prescription filled with the same effect and outcome as a brand drug, but at a much lower cost, appears to be the biggest grand slam of them all.

So what takes place to get these generic drugs from conception to drug stores? With the same rigorous testing as brands, generics go through identical procedures to ensure the safety and efficacy in their active ingredient.

Once a medicine is first developed, the creating pharmaceutical company receives a patent on the new brand drug, usually lasting for 20 years. After 20 years comes and goes, a generic version can then become available and be named under the drug’s chemical or “generic” name.
