Generic name
Generic name, drug: The term “generic name” has several meanings as regards drugs:
1. The chemical name of a drug.
2. A term referring to the chemical makeup of a drug rather than to the advertised brand name under which the drug is sold.
3. A term referring to any drug marketed under its chemical name without advertising.
In other words:
Generic drugs are copies of brand-name drugs that have exactly the same dosage, intended use, effects, side effects, route of administration, risks, safety, and strength as the original drug.
Their pharmacological effects are exactly the same as those of their brand-name counterparts.
