What’s the difference between brand name and generic Viagra?
Generic Viagra is made out of the same active ingredients as the brand name one. They have the same mechanism of action, same strength, dosage and effects of the brand name. Both Viagra and its generic version will help in the same way with erectile dysfunctions.
The main difference is in name and price, which is due to advertisement and research costs paid by the original brand owners. According to a study performed by the consumer health organization Families USA, pharmaceutical companies spend twice as much on marketing, advertising and administration as on research and development. The marketing cost makes the price of the drug considerably higher.
