A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Neupogen is a febrile neutropenia prevention medication available by prescription and prescribed for people who are in chemotherapy treatments and have low white blood cell counts. Filgrastim is a G-CSF class drug that works by stimulating bone marrow so that white blood cell production is increased and the cells mature faster into neutrophils that then go into the bloodstream to fight bacteria and reduce the risk of neutropenia infection during cancer treatment.
