Generic vs original — in short

Generics contain the same active substance (INN) as the original product, at the same dose and in the same pharmaceutical form. To be authorised they must demonstrate bioequivalence — that is, a similar pharmacokinetic profile (the blood concentration over time is within ±20%). Typical differences are in the excipients (relevant for patients allergic to lactose, gluten or colourings), the brand and the manufacturer. For chronic treatments, switching from one generic to another is done with the doctor's agreement — even if the active substance is identical, individual tolerance can differ.
