Brand medicine refers to a medication that is manufactured and marketed by a specific pharmaceutical company under a proprietary brand name. These medicines are protected by patents and are typically more expensive than generic medicines.
For example, Advil is a brand medicine that contains ibuprofen as its active ingredient. It is manufactured and marketed by Pfizer. Advil is widely used as an over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer. The brand name "Advil" is well-known and trusted by consumers, and Pfizer invests in marketing and advertising to promote the brand.
