Generic Levitra (Vardenafil)
What Are Generics?
According to FDA, generic medication (Generic Levitra -
Vardenafil as well) are the same as brand-name drugs. Generic
drugs use the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs
and work the same way. So they have the same risks and benefits
as the brand-name drugs.
So, what are diferences?
When a new drug is first made it has drug patent. The patent
protects the company that made the drug first. The patent
doesnt allow anyone else to make and sell the drug.
When the patent expires, other drug companies can start selling
the generic version.
So, it's all about money - Generic Vardenafil is cheaper
than Levitra becouse generic drug makers dont have the
investment costs, including research, development, marketing,
and promotion. In the USA, trademark laws do not allow generic
drugs to look exactly like the brand-name drug. However, the
generic drug must have the same active ingredients.
Generic Levitra (Vardenafil)
Levitra tablets contain the active ingredient vardenafil,
so this is reason why Generic Vardenafil which is made
by other manufacturer than Bayer AG (the owner of Levitra®
brand) is called generic Levitra. It is a cheaper version
of the same drug, but produced by other, generic drug manufacturers.
