What is a Generic Drug?
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.

Fosamax Plus Uses
Fosamax Plus (Alendronate and Colecalcalciferol) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Fosamax plus consists of both Alendronate and Cholecalciferol. Both of these are used to cure and prevent osteoporosis. Alendronate belongs to the group of medicines called bisphosphonates. It works by altering the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body. It slows bone loss taking place in the body while increasing bone mass that results in reduced chances of bone fractures.
Cholecalciferol, on the other hand, is a form of vitamin D. Vitamin D is considered extremely important for the absorption of calcium from the stomach so that it could be put to use in the body.
