What Are Generic Medications and Why Are They So Popular?
Generic medications are affordable alternatives to brand-name drugs. They contain the same active ingredients, deliver the same therapeutic effects, and meet the same quality and safety standards as their brand-name counterparts. Approved by Health Canada, generic drugs are used to treat a wide range of health conditions—just like the originals.
At Coal Harbour Pharmacy, we carry a full range of trusted generic medications to help you manage your health while saving money.
Why Are Generic Medications More Affordable?
Generic drugs are typically 30–80% less expensive than brand-name medications. Here’s why:
• No costly research & development: Generic manufacturers don’t repeat clinical trials already completed by brand-name companies.
• Lower marketing costs: Brand-name drugs are heavily advertised, but generics rely on existing awareness.
• Competition: When a patent expires, multiple manufacturers can produce the generic version, increasing supply and lowering prices.
We pass these cost savings directly to you, helping you access the medications you need at a fraction of the cost.
Are Generic Drugs As Effective As Brand-Name Drugs?
Yes. Generic medications are bioequivalent to their brand-name versions, meaning:
• They work in the same way
• Provide the same strength and dosage
• Deliver the same clinical benefits
All generics sold at Coal Harbour Pharmacy are approved by Health Canada and manufactured by reputable pharmaceutical companies, ensuring you receive safe, effective treatment.
