Diabetics must often decide between brand name and generic diabetic supplies.
Diabetics
must often decide between brand name and generic diabetic supplies. Generic diabetes supplies are exactly the same
as brand name ones in many ways. The differences between brand name and generic
diabetic supply characteristics are minor and superficial.
The FDA mandates that generic diabetes drugs have the same effect, side effects, strength, and dosage as the original brand name drugs. Generic drugs must also be equally as safe and administered to the body in the same fashion as the originals. The only differences between generic and brand name diabetic supplies are in appearance and cost. Brand name diabetes supplies are capitalized, whereas generics are kept lowercase. Generic drugs sometimes taste or look different than brand name ones. This is because creating exact copies of brand name drugs would violate United States trademark laws. Generic drugs function exactly like brand name ones. In addition, generic diabetes drugs are often far less expensive. Generic diabetes supplies are not inferior to their brand name counterparts. Brand name drugs are more expensive than generic ones because their manufacturers are attempting to gain back the cost of research, development, and marketing the new drug. After the exclusive patent-granted selling rights expire, other companies can apply to the FDA for license make the same drug and sell it much more cheaply. Generic diabetic supplies may look or taste different from their brand name originals. Despite these superficial differences, generic diabetes supplies function in exactly the same way at a much lower cost.
