Most brand name products are generally manufactured by the same companies that retain patent rights. Sometimes, a drug may be packaged differently or in a different color, shape, or form. However, the chemical ingredients of brand name and generic counterpart drugs will always be identical, so you can rest assured that you will be buying the same molecule as expected. Our contracted pharmacists will never change a drug without your physician’s authorization.

There are no restrictions on the number of prescriptions. If your physician writes a prescription for more than a 3-month supply,
Essential Meds Store can process refill orders as they come due.

Firstly, if you have purchased a brand name medication and you have ordered a generic medication from us, the pills we send to you WILL LOOK DIFFERENT. Generics do not look the same as their brand name counterparts due to patent regulations enforced on the generic manufacturers. Lastly, when comparing two different Generics, they WILL LOOK DIFFERENT if they are made by two different companies.

When a drug manufacturer develops and markets a new drug, the drug is developed under a patent, giving the drug manufacturer a monopoly over selling that particular molecule during the patent period. As such, a drug manufacturer can charge a lot more for a brand name drug to recover its development, research, and marketing costs. As soon as the drug’s patent expires, other manufacturers can produce and sell generic versions of the previously patented brand name drug at a lower price. As generic manufacturers do not have the heavy financial burden of research and development costs, they can sell their generic drugs at a much lower price than the brand name manufacturers. Additionally, more competition with more products in the market pushes the selling prices lower.
