Generics

Generics is a term for generic drugs. A generic drug is a pharmaceutical substance which contains an active ingredient which was originally protected by chemical patents. In most cases, generics are brought to market to replace a successful, branded drug after its patent protections expire. The availability of a generic alternative usually causes significant reduction in the price of the drug.
