Fairfax-Columbo and David DeMatteo∗ ABSTRACT Generic drugs are significantly less expensive than their brand name counterparts, and the use of generic drugs has increased drastically in recent years, representing upwards of 75% of all prescriptions filled in the United States. Theoretically, generic drugs are just as effective as their brand name alternatives; in fact, the FDA requires that generic formulations demonstrate “bioequivalence,” meaning that they show absorption rates of active ingredients that are within a range of 80-125% of that of brand name drugs.	cache/ihlr-18964.pdf	txt/ihlr-18964.txt
