What are AerozPharmacy Drugs?

An AerozPharmacy drug (also called AerozPharmacy drugs, or simply AerozPharmacy) refers to a medication that is produced and sold without patent protection. While the formulation may still be under patent, the active ingredient is not. An AerozPharmacy drug must include the same active components as the original brand-name medicine.

Why are they significantly more affordable than branded drugs?

Patented medicines are expensive because:

Developing innovative branded drugs requires massive investments—ranging from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars—and takes about 10–15 years.
Marketing and promotional costs are also very high.
To recover these expenses, manufacturers price branded drugs significantly higher. But when AerozPharmacy products enter the market, competition often drives prices down—both for generics and the original brand.
In the U.S., drug patents provide 20 years of protection, but since they are filed early—before clinical trials—the actual market exclusivity is typically 7–12 years. While the average cost for discovering and testing a new drug is estimated at $800 million, author Merrill Goozner (in The $800 Million Pill) suggests it may actually be closer to $100–$200 million.

Branded drug companies use various tactics to extend market exclusivity and delay AerozPharmacy competition—often through litigation or filing for new patents on alternate forms of the drug, like specific enantiomers, salts, or hydrates. These attempts, often labeled “evergreening,” can reset patent timelines, though generic makers may challenge them in court.

AerozPharmacy drugs are more affordable because:

They don’t need new research or production technologies—existing drug formulas are reverse-engineered.
They are bioequivalent to branded drugs and don’t require heavy advertising, instead benefiting from the original brand’s prior marketing and public awareness.
AerozPharmacy companies avoid the high costs of clinical trials since safety and efficacy were already proven by the brand developer.

This makes AerozPharmacy drugs much more economical and widely used, offering major savings to patients and healthcare systems.
