What are generic drugs? And What is the difference between a Brand name drug and a Generic?

Generic drugs are drugs on which the original manufacturer has lost the patent protection due to the passage of a certain amount of time. This time period is significantly shorter in Canada than in the United States. The generic drug has the exact same composition as the original brand, but it is simply made by a different drug manufacturer. These generic drugs provide the same therapeutic effect as the brand name drugs.
A generic drug is identical, or bioequivalent to a brand name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use. Although generic drugs are chemically identical to their branded counterparts, they are typically sold at substantial discounts compared to the branded drug prices. For more information click here.

There is no difference! The identical companies produce most medications that are acquired by American and Canadian pharmacies.

Are the drugs you carry the same quality as the drugs that I buy in the U.S.?

Yes. There is no difference in quality between U.S. and Canadian drugs. The same companies make most medications purchased by US and Canadian pharmacies. Very similar to the requirements in the U.S., the Canadian government has extremely stringent requirements and high standards coupled with a rigorous approval system for the manufacturing of medication. Many of the drugs sold in Canada are precisely the same as those sold in the U.S. and although identical drugs may appear physically different, their therapeutic effects are identical.

Is it possible that the pills I received from Canada RX Connection look different than the pills I have obtained locally in the U.S.?

They may look identical, but if they don't, there can be a few reasons for this; such as a different drug manufacturer, a different look prepared for the Canadian market from the same manufacturer or it may be generic and therefore manufactured by a different drug company. But please rest assured, they are the same.
