A. Since 1970, the FDA has approved almost 9,000 generic drug products as therapeutically equivalent to brand name products. These generics have been used billions of times by millions of patients, demonstrating again that brand name and generic name drug have the same effect in the body.

Yes. FDA requires that all drugs be safe and effective. Since generics use the same active ingredients and are shown to work the same way in the body, they have the same risks and benefits as their brand-name counterparts.

Yes. The FDA requires generic drugs to have the same quality, strength, purity and stability as Brand Name drugs. Currently, almost half of all prescriptions are filled with Generic Drugs. Look out for PharmacyChecker.com, VIPPS, CIPA rx, IMPAC, MIPA logo in the pharmacy’s website depending in the country you are present, this verifies that the source of medication is from reliable legitimate sources, verifies that your personal and financial data is safe, verifies that the pharmacy’s contact information is correct and also verifies that the online pharmacy requires a prescription and the pharmacy itself ships the medication.
