- Qu'est-ce que signifie générique?
- Les médicaments génériques sont produits et distribués sans la protection par brevet. Un générique contient les mêmes ingrédients actifs que les comprimés de marque et est identifié par son nom chimique plutôt que son nom de marque. Les génériques sont considérés comme bioéquivalents au produit de marque à l'égard de propriétés pharmacocinétiques et pharmacodynamiques. Par conséquent, les génériques sont identiques aux comprimés de marque de la dose, la force, l’utilisation par la voie d'administration, la sécurité, l'efficacité, et l’usage destiné.
- Quelle est la qualité des médicaments génériques?
- Les médicaments génériques doivent avoir les mêmes ingrédients actifs, la quantité et la vitesse d'absorption de ses ingrédients actifs dans le sang que leurs homologues de marque. Par conséquent, la qualité des médicaments génériques est la même que ses homologues de marque, même s’ils diffèrent par leur forme et / ou couleur.
- Pourquoi les médicaments génériques sont moins chers que ceux de marque?
- La plupart des nouveaux médicaments, quand ils sont d'abord introduits, sont protégés par des brevets par le gouvernement depuis 17 ans. Les autres entreprises ne peuvent pas vendre cette drogue pendant cette période. Cela permet à l'entreprise qui a développé le médicament à la distribution exclusive et à faire revenir l'argent de la recherche qui a été dépensé pour le développer. Lorsque le brevet expire, les compagnies pharmaceutiques peuvent demander à la Food and Drug Administration (Administration de la Nourriture et des Drogues) pour vendre les versions génériques de ce médicament. Et parce qu'ils n'ont pas besoin de s'inquiéter des coûts d'investissement, les entreprises concurrentes peuvent vendre leurs produits à un prix beaucoup plus bas.
