What does generic medicine mean?

[Celinasmith]

Generic medicine online refers to a medication that contains the same active ingredient as a brand-name drug and works in the same way, but is typically sold under its chemical name and at a lower cost.

Key features of generic medicines:

Same quality, strength, safety, and effectiveness as the brand-name version.

Approved by health authorities (like the FDA) after meeting strict regulatory standards.

Lower cost because manufacturers don’t have to repeat costly clinical trials or invest heavily in marketing.

May look different in shape, color, or packaging, but the therapeutic effect is the same.
