Generic Oncology Drugs: An Informational Overview
Introduction
Generic oncology drugs are cancer-treating medicines that are biologically and therapeutically equivalent to brand-name cancer drugs but are sold under a generic label once patent protections expire. They contain the same active ingredients and deliver similar therapeutic effects, offering accessible options for cancer care.
What Makes a Drug “Generic”
A generic drug must have the same active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), dosage form, strength, route of administration, and clinical performance as its reference brand drug. Regulatory authorities require that generics demonstrate equivalent absorption and effectiveness before they can be approved for use in patients.
