Are generic drugs safe and effective?
Generic medicines are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA approval means that generic medicines have the same quality, strength and effectiveness as their brand name equivalents.

Why do generic drugs cost less?
Generics cost less because their manufacturers do not have to spend the millions of dollars it takes to complete clinical studies on the new, original medicine. Because brand manufacturers make this investment, it costs generic manufacturers less to develop the same medicine and savings are passed on to you.

What if there is no generic alternative for the medicine I am taking?
Ask your doctor if there is an alternative medicine to treat your condition that has a generic equivalent. If not, ask your doctor to choose a brand name drug listed on the Formulary Drug List.
