- ¿Qué significa genéricos?
- Los medicamentos genéricos son producidos y distribuidos sin protección de patentes. Un genérico contiene los mismos ingredientes activos que las pastillas de marca y se identifica por su nombre químico y no por una marca. Los medicamentos genéricos se consideran bioequivalentes a los de marca con respecto a las propiedades farmacocinéticas y farmacodinámicas. Por lo tanto, los genéricos son idénticos a las píldoras de marca en la dosis, la fuerza, la vía de administración, seguridad, eficacia y uso previsto.
- ¿Cuál es la calidad de los medicamentos genéricos?
- Los medicamentos genéricos tienen los mismos ingredientes activos, la cantidad y velocidad de absorción de sus ingredientes activos en el torrente sanguíneo que sus homólogos de marca. Por lo tanto, la calidad de los medicamentos genéricos es la mismo que la de sus homólogos de marca, aunque difieren en forma y / o color.
- ¿Por qué son los medicamentos genéricos más baratos que los de marca?
- La mayoría de los nuevos medicamentos, cuando se introducen por primera vez al mercado están protegidos por patentes del gobierno durante 17 años. Otras compañías no pueden vender ese medicamento durante ese tiempo. Esto permite a la compañía que desarrolló la droga venderla en exclusiva y recobrar el dinero de la investigación que hicieron para desarrollarlo. Cuando la patente se agota, las compañías farmacéuticas pueden solicitar a la Food and Drug Administration permiso para vender versiones genéricas de la droga. Y es por eso que no tiene que preocuparse acerca de los costos de inversión, las empresas competidoras puedan vender sus productos a un precio mucho más bajo.
