A generic drug is a medication created to be the same as an existing approved brand-name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, and performance characteristics.Generic medicines work the same as brand-name medicines
A generic medicine works in the same way and provides the same clinical benefit as its brand-name version. This standard applies to all FDA-approved generic medicines. A generic medicine is the same as a brand-name medicine in dosage, safety, effectiveness, strength, stability, and quality, as well as in the way it is taken and should be used.
Generic medicines use the same active ingredients as brand-name medicines and work the same way, so they have the same risks and benefits as the brand-name medicines

Generic medicines are those which contain the same active ingredient (the ingredient which acts to cure the condition the medicine is used to treat) in the same quantity as a brand-name medicine. Generic medicines therefore have the same effect on the body in terms of curing disease as the brand-name medicines which they copy.
However, generic medicines are sold using a different name and may contain different inactive ingredients (ingredients that give the product its taste, shape texture, smell, et cetera, but which do not affect the body to relieve health conditions) compared with their branded counterparts. They should not be confused with counterfeit medicines, which are illegally manufactured copies that may or may not contain the same active ingredient.
