is the second most common antidepressant, with nearly 5 million prescriptions written and prescribed to consumers annually in the United States alone.1
Despite the availability of generic drugs, there has been a decrease in sales and popularity of the drug.2 Among consumers, many have purchased generic versions of the drug. This is partly due to the availability of generic prescription drugs, such as Celexa and Zoloft, which are sold by many pharmacies.3,4
One of the many reasons consumers have chosen generic brands for their medication is because they feel their medicine is better. With this being the case, generic pharmaceutical companies have been able to create a marketplace where patients can obtain medications that are as close to their authentic selves as possible.5
When a pharmaceutical company creates their own generic product, there are no competition. Generic drugs have the same active ingredients, strength, quality, and safety as the brand drug they are selling. This means they can be manufactured with the same manufacturing facilities, quality, and safety standards as their brand-name counterparts.6
Many medications are not available in a generic form. These generic medications are also not available by prescription, which makes it impossible for the generic pharmaceutical companies to create a generic version of their brand-name medication.7
As a result, generic companies have created their own versions of their brand-name medications. This can help consumers who have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or other mental disorders to make informed decisions.8,9
As an alternative to generic medications, some consumers may choose to purchase a brand-name version of their medication. For example, patients who have suffered from chronic pain for more than three months and are currently receiving generic versions of their brand-name medication may be more willing to pay for a brand-name version of their medication.10
One major challenge that the consumers face is that generic medications can have serious side effects. Generic drugs can cause significant side effects, including heart problems, heart attacks, and cancer.9,10
For this reason, consumers who have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or other mental disorders may be more willing to pay for a generic version of their medication than if they had purchased a brand-name version.10
In addition to this, consumers may be more likely to purchase brand-name versions of their medication if they are also prescribed a generic version of their medication. For example, the medication Celexa can be prescribed for patients with depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders.11
Many patients who have received the brand-name version of their medication have experienced side effects from the generic version. For example, the medication Celexa may cause severe headaches and dizziness.12,13
Some consumers who have purchased the brand-name version of their medication are willing to pay for the medication. For example, the brand-name version of Celexa, which has been manufactured by AstraZeneca, has been used in the United States for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders.14,15
While patients are able to purchase a generic version of their medication, they may not be able to purchase a brand-name version of their medication. Therefore, patients who have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or other mental disorders may be more willing to pay for a generic version of their medication.15
Patients who have been diagnosed with a type of mental disorder who have taken a generic version of their medication may not be able to purchase a brand-name version of their medication. It is important for patients to be aware of the medication's potential to cause severe side effects, including heart problems, heart attacks, and cancer.16
In addition to these risks, some patients who have received brand-name versions of their medication may be able to purchase brand-name versions of their medication. For example, the brand-name version of Celexa may cause serious adverse effects.17,18
Patients who have received brand-name versions of their medication may be able to purchase brand-name versions of their medication. For example, the medication Celexa may cause serious adverse effects.19
These patients may also be able to purchase a brand-name version of their medication if they have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or other mental disorders.20
For example, the medication Celexa may cause severe adverse effects.
