Drug companies spend billions to bring a new brand name drug to the market.  Once the drug is approved, the company is given the right to exclusively manufacture and market the drug until the patent expires.  These new drugs are usually expensive because the company must try to recover the costs as well as make profits to finance further research and development.

Once the patent of brand name drugs expires, other companies apply to the FDA to start manufacturing generics versions of the brand drug.  The reason companies can sell generics for cheaper is because they don’t have to spend the money for research and development of a new drug.  Generics are basically a copy of the brand name in terms of the active ingredient(s).  They may look different from the brand name drugs in shapes and colors due to inactive ingredient(s).  The FDA also requires that the generic drugs be as effective and as safe as the brand drugs.  The FDA estimates that about 50% of the generics are made by the same company that makes the brand name drugs.

The FDA does allow for slight variations due to manufacturing which is about a 3 percent difference in the amount of drug absorbed, and about a 4 percent difference in the peak plasma concentration.  This variation is not clinically significant in the majority of medications.  However, for certain medications that treat thyroid, seizures, or blood thinners where therapeutic levels are often maintained at a narrow margin, switching between brands and generics may affect the drug levels in the body.  In these cases, once a medication (either brand or generic) is started, patients should check with their doctors or pharmacists before switching.  If you have questions regarding whether your drug is affected by changes in levels, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.

Previously, patients were told to flush medications down the toilet to dispose of them.  Unfortunately, that advice has proven to be not so great anymore.  In March, a study conducted by the Associated Press found that small traces of drugs were found in several major cities’ drinking water.  That is why we should not continue to flush unused medications down the toilet.  Instead, the current recommendation is to first crush the medications, then mix them with cat litter, and finally place the contents in a sealed plastic bag to be disposed of with your trash.  Alternatives to cat litter include coffee grounds and sawdust as suggested by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Grapefruits and certain medications should not always be taken together.  Grapefruit contains a chemical called furanocoumarins (FCs) that can affect the concentration of some medications. Researchers have found that FC alters the activity of the enzyme in the intestinal tract that metabolizes the drug.  This effect results in either higher or lower drug levels in the blood stream.  For example, it can increase the concentration of certain blood pressure and cholesterol medications while decreasing the concentration of some antivirals and antifungal medications.   Before consuming grapefruits or grapefruit juice while on prescription medications, always check first with your health care professionals.
