TV-advertised drugs by generic name: FAQs

What is a generic (active-ingredient) name?

The generic name is the active ingredient inside a medication, while the brand name is the marketing name a company sells it under. The same active ingredient can appear in more than one brand. Pick an ingredient below to see every TV-advertised brand that uses it.

Why search by generic name instead of brand name?

Doctors and pharmacists often refer to a medication by its active ingredient, and some active ingredients are sold under several brands. Browsing by generic name lets you see all the TV-advertised brands that share the same active ingredient in one place.

Can one active ingredient have more than one brand?

Yes. Several of the active ingredients TVPills tracks are advertised under more than one brand — for example Fluticasone/salmeterol, Semaglutide and Escitalopram. Choose any ingredient to compare the brands that use it.
