Doctor's View
Tramadol is often prescribed by doctor. f you
need to take tramadol you can buy
tramadol from here. Almost half
of all prescriptions today in the US
are filled with generic drugs. Still,
I am often asked if generic drugs are
really as good as their brand-name counterparts.
After all, goes the reasoning, don’t
you get what you pay for? Generic drugs
are copies of brand-name drugs that
have exactly the same dosage, intended
use, effects, side effects, route of
administration, risks, safety, and strength
as the original drug. In other words,
their pharmacological effects are exactly
the same as those of their brand-name
counterparts. An example of a generic
drug, one used for diabetes, is metformin.
A brand name for metformin is Glucophage.
(Brand names are usually capitalized
while generic names are not.) A generic
drug, one used for hypertension, is
metoprolol whereas a brand name for
the same drug is Lopressor. Many people
become concerned because generic drugs
are often substantially cheaper than
the brand-name versions. They wonder
if the quality and effectiveness have
been compromised to make the less expensive
products. The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug
Administration) requires that generic
drugs be as safe and effective as brand-name
drugs. Actually, generic drugs are only
cheaper because the manufacturers have
not had the expenses of developing and
marketing a new drug. When a company
brings a new drug onto the market, the
firm has already spent substantial money
on research, development, marketing
and promotion of the drug.
A patent is granted that gives the company
that developed the drug an exclusive
right to sell the drug as long as the
patent is in effect. As the patent nears
expiration, manufacturers can apply
to the FDA for permission to make and
sell generic versions of the drug. Without
the startup costs for development of
the drug, other companies can afford
to make and sell it more cheaply. When
multiple companies begin producing and
selling a drug, the competition among
them can also drive the price down even
further. So there’s no truth in the
myths that generic drugs are manufactured
in poorer-quality facilities or are
inferior in quality to brand-name drugs.
The FDA applies the same standards for
all drug manufacturing facilities, and
many companies manufacture both brand-name
and generic drugs. In fact, the FDA
estimates that 50% of generic drug production
is by brand-name companies.
Another common misbelief is that generic
drugs take longer to work. The FDA requires
that generic drugs work as fast and
as effectively as the original brand-name
products. Sometimes, generic versions
of a drug have different colors, flavors,
or combinations of inactive ingredients
than the original medications. Trademark
laws in the United States do not allow
the generic drugs to look exactly like
the brand-name preparation, but the
active ingredients must be the same
in both preparations, ensuring that
both have the same medicinal effects.
