  • I take many medications and if one looks different I won't take it until I look it up on pill finder and I can't imagine how these generic medications confuse the elderly people as much as it confuses a younger person?

      I think the FDA should look into changing these medications that will look similar to the brand name
  • When medications are prescribed, the person is informed of what they are and what they're used for. The container is also labeled with the dosage and what they're used for. There should be no confusion. If there is, there are online sites that will explain everything.

      Thank you
  • Generic medications are produced by drug companies after the patent for the original medication (held by the company that developed it) has expired. The composition is the same as the original. There are FDA rules that forbid the "generic" looking the same as the original branded drug. Generics are usually cheaper than the branded version.

      Thanks for your comment
  • Generic meds are simply the same meds that were once premium patented high dollar med that the patent has expired on. Most insurance companies require generic meds to be prescribed to the customers.

      Some do some don't. It depends on the manufacturer, I think.
