Cheap drug doesn't mean low quality drug
Cheap prescription drugs are not counterfeited or low-quality prescription medications. Some generics can surpass original ones, if a manufacturer uses a better technology. As a result, a consumer gets prescription drugs of very high quality. By buying FDA approved medications, you can be sure of their effectiveness and safety. Furthermore, each organism has individual reactions on prescription drugs. Some people prefer genuine medications; others find generics to work better. That's why many people buy generic not only because there are cheap prescription drug, but because they find it to work better. A well-known American non-commercial organization published a report of their prescription medication market research. It's stated there, that many new brand prescription drugs, claiming to have “better formula” don't in fact have it. Those medications, manufactured by pharmaceutical companies, don't differ or differ slightly from previous generation of pills. And they are not better for sure. According to the report, only 35% of prescription medications had new active ingredients. And there were only 15% of really new prescription drugs, containing new chemical ingredients and being able to improve the quality of treatment. This means that pharmaceutical companies are more interested in making money. Slightly changed drugs cost more and gives more revenue, but often don't treat better as advertised. So when you buy a new “improved” prescription drug for higher amount of money, you get the medication that differs from generic drug only by its known name.
