Brand drugs are patented and manufactured by a pharmaceutical company under a particular name. Generic drugs are essentially copies of brand-name drugs. They have the same dosage, strength, delivery method (e.g. oral, intravenous, etc.), quality, performance and intended use. Generic drugs become available after the patent for the original manufacturer of the brand expires.
