We all know that generic medications offer safe, high-quality medicine at a, fraction of the cost of a brand-name drug. In fact, once a generic medication hits the market, prices tend to fall by 60-80%. The problem is that many other drugs we rely on today are not yet available generically in the U.S. The good news is that this is not the case in other countries! The law in several countries allow medications to enter the market nearly 20 years sooner than in the U.S. As a result, generic medications are available for virtually every brand-name drug.

Generics are generally named after the active ingredients in the medications, but may vary from country to country.

India is an excellent example of how India and the United States Pharmaceutical industries are intertwined.  This isn’t apparent to patients who simply walk into a U.S.-based retail pharmacy, and never question where those medications came from. The largest producer of generic medications in the world. India’s Pharmaceutical Industry is the 4th largest in the world. Many of the generic drugs on the shelves at your local US pharmacy come from drug companies in India, and other countries – the same drug companies we buy from. Plus, many of the brand-name drugs in the United States are manufactured with base ingredients supplied by India. India sells the exact same brand name drugs; they just have a different economy of scale so everything is far less expensive.
