Yes, Generic Remedies Are Reliable. According to the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) of the Ministry of Health, the generic drug is interchangeable with the reference medicine, that is, it can replace the reference medicine indicated in the medical prescription.
Generic remedies are copies of medicines whose patents have expired and their production follows stringent quality control standards. According to the law, these medicines can only be marketed after undergoing bioequivalence effects on humans and pharmaceutical equivalence.
These tests ensure that the generic drug will be absorbed at the same concentration and speed as the reference medicines and certify that the composition of the product is exactly the same as the innovative drug that gave rise to the generic.
Generic drugs are generally produced after the expiration or waiver of patent protection or other reference remedies, after proven its effectiveness, safety and quality.
Thus, it can be said that the generic medicines are reliable, since the production of them is accompanied by ANVISA, through quality control tests.
