generic product, generic drug Explanation: Strictly speaking, rinnakkaisvalmiste and generic product/drug may not have exactly the same meaning, but practically they have. Rinnakkaisvalmiste is in almost 100 % of cases the same as generic product/drug = cheaper non-brand as opposed to expensive brand product/drug. When it comes to e.g. cars, rinnakkaismalli could mean just parallel model. |
