About Authorized Generics

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the term “authorized generic” drug is most commonly used to describe an approved brand name drug that is marketed without the brand name on its label. Other than the fact that it does not have the brand name on its label, it is the exact same drug product as the branded product. The product the patient receives is identical to the branded product, contains the same active and inactive ingredients, and is manufactured using the same process at a considerable cost savings.
