| After the
patent for a brand name drug has expired, pharmaceutical manufacturers
are allowed to produce copies of that drug. These copies are referred
to as "generic" drugs. Israel is
home to some of the largest generic drug manufacturers in the
world; this allows MagenDavidMeds.com to offer an excellent selection
of Kosher generics at highly affordable prices.
Generic drugs almost invariably cost less than their brand name
counterparts because they can be manufactured less expensively.
Producing a brand name drug requires a substantial research and
development investment, as well as the considerable expense of
marketing a new product. Generic drugs, because they're produced
using a pre-existing recipe and sold to savvy consumers, require
none of these costs.
In order to pass inspection, a generic Israeli drug must be proven
to function in exactly the same way as the brand name drug it is
modeled after. It must contain the same active ingredient in the
same quantity, and produce an identical therapeutic effect in a
patient. The filler ingredients and appearance of a generic drug
may be different from the brand name equivalent, but in terms of
function and safety, generic drugs are identical to brand name
drugs.
