No, the FDA requirements for generic and brand-name drugs differ in several important ways, although both must adhere to strict safety standards.
Key differences include:
For brand-name drugs (New Drug Applications/NDAs):
For generic drugs (Abbreviated New Drug Applications/ANDAs):
The generic must deliver the same amount of active ingredient to the body within an acceptable range (typically 80-125% of the brand-name drug’s bioavailability). However, inactive ingredients (colors, fillers, etc.) can differ, which occasionally affects how individual patients respond to generics versus brand-name drugs.
