Use of generic antibiotics in children

Pediatric Annals
J Tam

Abstract

Most oral antibiotics have highly acceptable generic equivalents. The generic products are comparable in bioavailability, side-effect profile, and efficacy to their brand-name equivalents. Some are more palatable, and all are less costly that the trade-name products. Increased use of oral generic antibiotics will generate significant cost savings for both the patients and prescribers, without compromising therapeutic benefits.
