See exactly how much you save switching to generics
Brand prices are approximate US retail prices. Generic medications contain the same active ingredient at the same dose. FDA/TGA-approved generics meet the same safety and efficacy standards as branded equivalents.
Are generic medications as effective as brand-name?
Yes. Generic medications contain the same active ingredient at the same dose and are required to meet the same bioequivalence standards as their branded equivalents. The FDA, TGA, and MHRA all require generic medications to demonstrate equivalent absorption and effect before approval.
Why are generics so much cheaper?
Brand pharmaceutical companies spend billions on clinical trials and marketing to bring a new drug to market. Generic manufacturers skip those costs — the molecule is already proven. This is why a 100mg sildenafil tablet that costs $70 under the Viagra brand costs under $1 as a generic.
Brand prices shown are approximate US retail prices. Actual savings depend on your location and pharmacy. SafeRxPills sells WHO-GMP certified generic medications only.
