A pharmacy technician is discussing generic and trade drugs with a patient. The patient wants to ...

A pharmacy technician is discussing generic and trade drugs with a patient. The patient wants to know why it takes so long for trade drugs to become available in the generic form, which are generally cheaper. What is the pharmacy technicians’ best response?

1.   It takes 20 years for all pharmaceutical companies to develop a generic version of the drug.
2.   It will take 20 years of clinical trials to approve the drug.
3.   Sole ownership of a drug allows the pharmaceutical company to earn back the money spent to develop the drug.
4.   Animal testing must continue for 10 years, then 10 years of human clinical trials, for a drug to be approved.
