<p class="isSelectedEnd">Generic Meds Australia is a useful topic for understanding how generic medicines differ from original brands. A generic medicine contains the same active ingredient as the corresponding original medicine and, for prescription medicines, must demonstrate bioequivalence before it can be supplied in Australia.

Generic medicines are used for the same medical purposes as their corresponding medicines, although their appearance and some inactive ingredients may differ. The appropriate medicine and dosage depend on the individual condition, so patients should follow their doctor&rsquo;s or pharmacist&rsquo;s advice and check the medicine information before use.
