In fact, brand-name firms are linked to an estimated 50% of generic drug production.

When a drug company first invents a drug (i.e. Prozac) that company is the only one allowed to make that drug for a certain number of years (approximately 10 years in the US and 5-7 years in Canada). After this time period, other companies are allowed to make the same drug. These drugs are called generics. The original drug (i.e. Prozac) is called a brand name drug. Brand name drugs and their generics contain identical active ingredients.

Brand name drugs are more expensive than generics for two primary reasons. First and foremost, the manufacturers are trying to recover the research and development costs of the drug while they still own the patent. The second reason is that there are no drug price controls, meaning manufacturers can set their own prices.

When scientists develop a new drug, they give it a generic name reflecting its chemical makeup. Once the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the local regulatory authority approves the drug, the manufacturer markets it with a brand or trade name, which is usually shorter and easier to remember. A drug company can hold exclusive patent rights to make a drug for upto 20 years after its discovery. After that other companies can start making generic versions of the drug.

The main difference between generic and brand-name is the cost. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must deem generic drugs to be equally effective to brand-name drugs. The same FDA quality and safety requirements must be followed for generic and brand-name drugs.
