A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

For most people who contract this disease it is acute short term with infections lasting more than 6 months. Symptoms usually begin to be seen within 1 to 4 months of infection, but some people will see them as early as 2 weeks after, with standard symptoms being pain in the abdomen, darkened urine, joint pain, appetite loss, fever, nausea and vomiting, and jaundice where skin and whites of eyes become yellow. There is no cure for Hepatitis B, but it is manageable.
