A generic medicinal product is a prescription medication containing the same chemical element as a medicinal product originally covered by chemical patents. After the patents on the original medicines expire, generic drugs are approved for sale. Biopharmaceuticals, such as monoclonal antibodies, differ from small molecule drugs in biological terms. A generic medication, one used for hypertension, is metoprolol, while Lopressor is a brand name for the same drug. A generic medication acts in the same way as its brand-name counterpart and offers the same clinical benefit.
