WHY ARE COSTS DIFFERENT FOR BRAND-NAME DRUGS VS. GENERIC DRUGS?

Brand-name drugs can be expensive because of the research needed to test their safety and effectiveness. The manufacturer of a brand-name drug can sell it for up to 20 years.

Also, because generics contain the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, they don’t require the same costly testing.

Voquezna can be taken for up to 6 months, depending on the condition being treated.
