Description

The latest styles are always tempting. Buying new cars, clothes, or computer upgrades may hurt your budget, but buying the newest drugs could hurt both your wallet and your health. For prescription medicine, "classic" drugs may be the way to go. Here's why. New drugs have unknown risks. Of course, drugs are tested before marketing, but they may not be tested in elders, children, or people with chronic medical conditions like diabetes or asthma. Problems may be revealed after a drug is used in more people or in a more diverse population. A new drug may be tested for a few months, but prescribed for years. Long-term problems and drug interactions take a while to show up. One way to protect yourself from the unknown risks of new drugs is to request generic drugs. About three-quarters of drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have generic equivalents. Any drug available in generic form has been on the market for many years and is time-tested, so we know more about their risks and benefits.
