💡 Why Are Private Label Drugs More Affordable?
Private label drugs are more affordable largely because they don’t carry the heavy marketing and advertising expenses that brand-name products do. By focusing on production rather than promotion, private label manufacturers can offer the same high-quality medications at a significantly lower cost—often up to 85% less.
🏭 Manufacturing & FDA Oversight
Private label and brand-name drugs are produced in FDA-inspected facilities and held to the same strict manufacturing standards. The FDA conducts thousands of inspections each year to ensure ongoing compliance.
Interestingly, about 50% of private label drugs are manufactured by brand-name companies under different packaging.
💰 Same Results, Lower Price
Private label medications typically cost 30–80% less than their brand-name counterparts, offering the same therapeutic benefits. They’re a safe, effective, and budget-friendly option for millions.
