Question 14

Why are generic drugs so much more affordable than brand name drugs?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 15

Are generics available for all brand name medications?

Unfortunately, no. At this time, only half of the drugs on the market are available for distribution as generic drugs because half of the drugs are protected by patents, allowing only one company to manufacture and market them.
