In other words, they have the same effectiveness and safety. That\u2019s because generic manufacturers need to perform studies that prove that the generic version is released into the bloodstream at the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/msdmanuals.com\/home\/drugs\/brand-name-and-generic-medications\/bioequivalence-and-interchangeability-of-generic-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">same rate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as the brand-name drug.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, generic manufacturers use their own formulations of the brand-name medication. Therefore, generic versions may differ from brand-name drugs in the following ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inactive ingredients, such as fillers, dyes, and binders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The color and shape of the tablet or capsule<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The markings or engravings on the tablet or capsule<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although generic versions may look different from the brand-name version, they should still <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/are-generic-drugs-as-good-as-brand-name-medicines\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work the same<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They\u2019re also taken at the same exact dosage as the brand-name.
