Preferred term

generic drugs  

Definition

  • Generic drugs, sometimes known colloquially as generics, are drugs that are bioequivalent to a brand-name drug with respect to the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. However, because of the registration of brand-name drugs, generic drugs tend to be sold at a much lower price, enabling health service providers and customers to make substantial savings.
