There was good news for Americans on the generic drug front amid the pandemic in 2020, according to a report from Sally Choe, director of the Office of Generic Drugs, Center for Drugs Evaluation and Research.
Choe noted that there are more than 10,000 FDA approved generic drugs and nine out of 10 prescriptions in the United States are filled by generics. Generic drugs have saved the health care system close to $2.2 trillion dollars in the past decade.
Amid the challenges of a worldwide pandemic and rapidly advancing science, the FDAâs generic drug program continued steadfast efforts to help increase the availability of safe, effective, high-quality, more affordable drugs in the United States, Choe said.
