Several different manufacturers may develop generic equivalents. This competition results in the lower cost of generics in the marketplace.Brand name drugs tend to be more expensive than Edit [Moderator]: Link removed generic drugs because the manufacturers of those brand name drugs need to recover the original research and investment associated with developing that brand name product.
Are you agreeing with my opinion? Any suggestion and comments are welcome here.

Manufacturers of brand-name drugs also spend an inordinate amount of money on marketing and advertising, which has to be recouped. Genereics brands are cheaper because they spend no money at all on promoting the drug.
