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.
Repatha is a prescription cholesterol medication for LDL cholesterol reduction and suited for those who are at risk of heart attack due to high blood cholesterol. It is part of the statin class of drugs and this medication works by suppressing the actions of the PCSK9 protein so the liver is able to clear more LDL cholesterol. Doctors will recommend it for people with an inherited propensity for high bad cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia) but Repatha may also be prescribed for people who have already had cardiac events with a risk of future ones being higher due to individual health factors.
