Abstract

The present work deals with the comparative study of generic Clotrimazole cream and branded Clotrimazole cream. Generic drugs are copies of brand-name drugs having same dosage, same intended use, effects, side effects, route of administration risk, and safety strength as the original drug. In other words, their pharmacological effects are exactly the same as those of their brand-name counterparts. The present study includes the difference between branded and generic drugs, to check the efficacy of generic drug with respect to its price and to correct the misunderstanding about generic and branded drugs.
