A generic drug is the same as the brand name drug in dosage, safety, strength, how it is administered, quality, performance and intended use. In order to be approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) it undergoes rigorous testing. By law, the generic must contain the same amounts of the same active ingredients as the brand (trade name) product. The benefit is that it is typically offered for a much lower price.
