Even if your drug is not yet available in generic form, there may be a very similar generic drug that can be just as effective. If you are currently taking a brand-name medication, ask your doctor if there is a generic equivalent drug that could treat your condition just as well. In most cases brand-name drugs are protected under a 10-17 year patent, and a generic equivalent cannot be made. During this period of time, manufacturers control pricing to make up for expensive research and development. In the interests of saving time, money and taking care of patients, most doctors will consider substituting a generic therapeutic alternative. A therapeutic similar is actually the generic match for the brand-name drug and that treats the same condition using a different ingredients. In most cases, these alternatives are just as effective.  Our Pharmacy coaches help you with this too.
