Hi Squiggles

> So, if they are bioequivalent, as the FDA assures us, and they are not targeted at poor people, then why make them at all?

Once the patent to a drug expires, other pharmaceutical companies are able to profit by selling a generic version of that drug at a cheaper price.

Yes, but the active molecule is where most of the innovation lies.
