How to read a comparison
Same ingredient, different name
Most medications exist under several names: one brand name, one generic name, and a
different brand again in another country. What matters is the
active ingredient and its strength — two products with the same
ingredient at the same strength are, for most purposes, the same medicine.
Strength is not a measure of quality
A 10 mg tablet is not "better" than a 5 mg one. Strength is matched to the
person and the condition, and a higher one is not an upgrade. Only your prescriber
can say which is right for you.
Dosage form changes more than convenience
The same ingredient as a tablet, a capsule or a liquid can be absorbed at different
speeds. Modified-release forms in particular are not interchangeable with ordinary
ones, even at an identical stated strength.
Approval route
NDA is an original brand-name approval. ANDA is a
generic, which had to prove it delivers the ingredient to the bloodstream at a rate
and extent statistically equivalent to the original.
OTC monograph covers products sold without a prescription under
standing FDA rules.
Controlled substances
A DEA schedule badge means the medication is federally controlled
because of its potential for dependence or misuse. Schedule II is the most
tightly restricted of those available by prescription. These carry extra rules on
prescribing, refills and supply.
What "we supply this ingredient" means
Where we stock a product containing the same active ingredient, the card says so and
links to it. That is an ingredient match — the strength, form or
manufacturer of what we sell may differ from the FDA record shown, so check the
product page before ordering.
