Activity Outline Description: This series of educational webinars is designed to aid physicians, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, certified public health professionals, other health care professionals, and students, to provide better patient care by knowing how to find relevant FDA regulatory information that will improve drug safety. This webinar will provide health care providers with information and knowledge on how to answer questions that patients may have about generic drugs such as whether generic drugs work the same as brand-name drugs, why they might look different, why they cost less, and if they are as safe as the brand-name drug. The presentation will also give providers information on therapeutic equivalence and how they can locate a generic drug equivalent for their patients. References: Series Objectives: - Explain how to utilize FDA's drug information, medication safety resources, and regulatory guidance, to improve delivery of patient care and optimize outcomes
- Describe and inform health care providers of recent labeling changes which would impact prescribing and medication management to optimize patient care.
Learning Objectives: After completion of this activity, the participant will be able to: - Describe the requirements for a generic drug to be considered equivalent to the brand-name drug.
- Explain why generic medicines cost less than brand-name medicines.
- Review the methods used by FDA to monitor the safety and effectiveness of generic drugs.
