We\u2019re fans of generic medications at SingleCare. They\u2019re more affordable medications, and lower prices means more people are able to afford the drugs they need to feel better. Forty medications became available as generics in 2019\u2014which means more medication adherence and more savings for you. Here, we look at what the new generic drugs are and how they compare to their brand name counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the difference between generic and brand-name drugs?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cName brand drugs are products marketed and sold by the company that developed the drug,\u201d explains Janet Fritsch, Pharm.D., pharmacist and owner of <\/span>Corner Drug Hometown Pharmacy<\/span><\/a> in Baraboo, Wisconsin. She goes on to explain that the pharmaceutical company is allowed to sell the drug exclusively as long as it\u2019s under patent. Once the patent expires, other companies are free to sell their own version of the drug with the same active ingredients. That\u2019s when generics come in. \u201cFirst generics\u201d are the first approval of a generic version by the FDA. Authorized generics are marketed by brand name companies, but at generic prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can often recognize generics by their names. While a brand-name drug is sold under a name that the pharmaceutical company gave it (which is usually easy to pronounce and marketable), generics are called by the name of their active ingredient(s). For example, aspirin\/ dipyridamole are the active ingredients in <\/span>Aggrenox<\/span><\/a>, a drug that prevents excessive blood clotting and reduces the risk of stroke. So when Aggrenox is sold as a generic, it\u2019s called aspirin\/dipyridamole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from the name, there isn\u2019t much difference. \u201cGeneric and brand-name drugs have the same active ingredients and work the same, providing the same clinical benefit, but the generic drug is less expensive,\u201d says Laurie Bond, CRNP, a nurse practitioner with <\/span>Evolve Direct Primary Care<\/span><\/a> in Annapolis, Maryland.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Dr. Fritsch, generic manufacturers must \u201cprove to the FDA that they are equivalent to the name brand drugs.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do generics cost less than brand-name drugs?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If generic and name brand drugs are the same ingredient-wise, why do generics cost so much less? Once a drug\u2019s patent expires, the companies that manufacture the generic form of the drug are able to sell it for a fraction of the price of the name brand drug.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGeneric drugs are less expensive because the manufacturer did not have to go to the original greater expense to develop and market the drug,\u201d Bond says. \u201cOnce the patent expires, the medication can be produced at lower cost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Fritsch says that the lower prices on generics also have something to do with the sheer number of companies that are now producing the drug. \u201cOnce other companies can make it, the price usually goes down because there\u2019s more competition,\u201d she explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Which new generic drugs became available in 2019?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>U.S. Food and Drug Administration<\/span><\/a> (FDA) approves new generics every year. Sometimes they are available in pharmacies right after approval. Other times, there is a gap between approval and when the drug is available for sale. Sometimes a drug already has a generic version, but the FDA approves an additional manufacturer to ensure adequate competition to keep the prices low. All generic medications that come to market must first be approved by the FDA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a list of drugs that came to market as generics this year, in the order they hit pharmacies, followed by descriptions of each new generic drug.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Brand name: Augmentin<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: This is one of the most common antibiotics available, used to treat respiratory tract infections, sinus infections, ear infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. The generic version has been previously approved. This year, Aurobindo Pharma Limited received approval for a version of the drug.<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Loteprednol etabonate<\/b><\/h3>\n

Brand name:<\/span> Lotemax<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Naftifine comes in a gel form. It is an antifungal medication applied to the skin to treat athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and other fungal skin infections.<\/span><\/p>\n

29. Valsartan<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brand name:<\/span> Diovan<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

How it works: Valsartan is a drug used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. It is also used in certain patients to reduce deaths after a heart attack. It was previously released as a generic in 2016. However, the FDA previously issued recalls of the generic drug from several manufacturers since last summer due to contamination with a dangerous chemical (nitrosamine impurities, NDMA). This led to a nationwide shortage. To alleviate the shortage, the <\/span>FDA approved a new generic version of valsartan<\/span><\/a> in March of this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

30.<\/strong> Pyridostigmine bromide syrup<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

Brand name: <\/span>Mestinon<\/span><\/a> syrup<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: This drug improves muscle strength in patients with a muscle disease called myasthenia gravis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

31. Fulvestrant injection<\/b><\/h3>\n

Brand name: Faslodex<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Fulvestrant injection, when administered alone, can treat certain types of breast cancer in post-menopausal women who have not previously received endocrine therapy. Sometimes it can be used as a combination therapy with another drug for advanced or metastatic breast cancer in women whose disease continues to progress after endocrine therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n

32.<\/strong> <\/b>Aliskiren<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n

Brand name: Tekturna<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Aliskiren is a renin inhibitor, used to\u00a0 treat hypertension. It works by decreasing renin in your body. Renin narrows your blood vessels and raises your blood pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

33. Levofloxacin ophthalmic solution<\/b><\/h3>\n

Brand name: Iquix ophthalmic solution<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: <\/span>Levofloxacin ophthalmic solution<\/span><\/a> treats corneal ulcer caused by a particular bacteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

34. Deferiprone tablets<\/b><\/h3>\n

Brand name: Ferriprox<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Deferiprone is part of a class of drugs called iron chelators. It works by attaching itself to iron in your body and then helping your body to pass out the extra iron in your urine. This medication is prescribed for people with a certain type of blood disorder called thalassemia. Sometimes, people with thalassemia have too much iron in their bodies because of frequent blood transfusions. (Blood transfusions are necessary for people with blood disorders, but they also bring extra iron into the body.) It is important to remove the extra iron because high levels of iron can cause health problems, like liver disease, heart failure, and diabetes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

35. Sevelamer hydrochloride tablets<\/b><\/h3>\n

Brand name: Renagel<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Doctors prescribe sevelamer to control blood phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are on dialysis. The safety of this drug in people with CKD who are not on dialysis has not been studied.<\/span><\/p>\n

36. Vigabatrin tablets<\/b><\/h3>\n

Brand name: Sabril<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Vigabatrin is used for the treatment of refractory complex partial seizures (CPS) in patients 10 years and older who have not adequately responded to several alternative treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>37. Acyclovir<\/a><\/b> cream<\/b><\/h3>\n

Brand name: <\/span>Zovirax<\/span><\/a> cream<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: This <\/span>generic drug<\/span><\/a> is used to treat recurrent cold sores. It may only be prescribed to adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older who do not have compromised immune systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

38. Levomilnacipran extended-release capsules<\/b><\/h3>\n

Brand name: Fetzima<\/span><\/p>\n

How it works: Levomilnacipran belongs to a drug class called serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). That means that it increases the amounts of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain in order to help increase positive feelings and decrease feelings of sadness and depression. It is used to treat Major Depressive Disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>39. Wixela inhub<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n
