Description
Generic drugs account for almost 85% of the four billion prescriptions written in the United States in 2012. They are comparable in terms of the active component to their corresponding branded drug but may differ in name, package, shape, color, taste and inactive ingredients.
While generic drugs play a substantial role in modern day healthcare and healthcare cost savings, they are often not well understood by patients, prescribers and pharmacists. Consequently, this book outlines the history of genericization, FDA and EMA requirements for generic drug entry, a comparison of generic and branded drugs, a discussion of generic ophthalmic drugs, and perceptions regarding the clinical use and acceptance of generic drugs among the patients, prescribers and pharmacists. The purpose of this book is to give all parties a better understanding of modern generic drug use.
