💊 MEDICATION MYTH MONDAY 💊
MYTH:
“Generic medications aren’t as good as brand-name medications.”
FACT:
FDA-approved generic medications must meet the same standards for quality, strength, purity, and stability as their brand-name counterparts. They also contain the same active ingredient and are required to work the same way in the body.
Generic medications may look different in color, shape, size, or packaging because their inactive ingredients can differ but that doesn’t mean they are lower quality.
💰 And there’s a bonus: Generics often cost less, which can make treatment more affordable.
Have questions about a generic substitution or why your medication looks different this month? Ask your pharmacist before making any changes.
💚 Different name. Same active ingredient. Same FDA standards.
