How Can I Get a KVK Medication
Q. Do I need a prescription to get KVK medications?
A. Chlorphen-12 for allergy relief is available to patients without a prescription and can be purchased online or at your local pharmacy. All other KVK medications are available by prescription only. Talk to your doctor about your medical treatment plan.
Q. Where can I find KVK medications?
A. KVK's generic medications are available in most pharmacies, retail and mail order across the United States, though not all pharmacies carry the same KVK medications. To find out if your medication is available as a KVK generic, contact your pharmacy. If the pharmacy doesn't regularly stock a certain medication from KVK, insist for it to be ordered for you at no additional cost.
Q. How can I find out when a KVK generic becomes available for my brand-name medication?
A. Just sign up to receive periodic emails from KVK and we will automatically notify you when new generics become available from KVK. You will also receive important health updates and important health tips for safeguarding your family's health
Q. Can I buy directly from KVK?
A. Our medications are only available by prescription and can be purchased through your pharmacy.
Q. If I have a prescription for a brand-name drug, can I get a generic equivalent at my pharmacy?
A. If a healthcare professional has prescribed a medicine by its brand name and a generic equivalent is available, the pharmacist will likely automatically substitute a generic equivalent, as permitted by law. However, in most states, a healthcare professional can say that he or she does not wish to have the brand name replaced with a generic. That's why it's important to tell your healthcare professional that you're interested in saving money with a KVK generic.
Check to see if KVK manufactures your brand-name medication as a cost-saving generic. If KVK does not make your generic yet, sign up to receive an alert when we do.
Q. How can I obtain a generic medication made by KVK?
A. With a valid prescription, it's easy. Talk with your pharmacist about being switched to the FDA-approved KVK generic for your medication. If your pharmacy does not carry the KVK product, a pharmacist may be able to order the medication for you at no additional cost.
Pricing Information
Q. Why do generics cost less than brand-name products?
A. Generic drugs cost substantially less than brand name drugs because the manufacturer isn’t required to repeat costly animal and clinical research on ingredients or dosage forms that are already FDA approved for safety and effectiveness.
Q. How can I find the price of KVK's medications?
A. Prices can vary between pharmacies. Simply contact your pharmacy to inquire about the cost of your medication, and be sure to tell your pharmacist if you have insurance.
Q. Does KVK offer a Patient Assistance Program?
A. KVK offers a broad line of affordable generic alternatives to brand-name medications. Please feel free to ask your doctor or pharmacist about switching to a KVK generic that's right for you. KVK does not offer an additional cost saving program for its generic medications.
About KVK Products
Q. How can I tell if I am taking a medicine made by KVK?
A. The manufacturer's name is usually printed on the prescription bottle label or paperwork you receive. In some cases, "KVK" or “K” may be printed on the tablet or capsule. You can look for the product on our website. Or, ask your pharmacist, who can be a great resource for all your prescription questions.
Q. Where are KVK products made?
A. All of KVK’s products are made in the U.S.A. in our state-of-the-art facility in Pennsylvania. The FDA inspects and approves our facilities to ensure our products meet the same FDA standards of good manufacturing practices as brand-name medications. KVK is committed to maintaining our entire business operations in America, and we continue to build strong, lasting relationships with the nation’s largest pharmacy chains, wholesalers and distributors.
Q. Are KVK generic drugs approved by the FDA?
A. All KVK medications are approved by the FDA. Our generic drugs contain exactly the same active ingredients as their branded counterparts. They may vary in appearance, flavor, or some of the inactive ingredients.
Q. Are KVK generic drugs as safe as brand-name drugs?
A. Yes. The FDA reviews the safety of both brand and generic prescription drugs before they are approved for use and continues to monitor safety of these medications
General Generic Drug
Q. I have a brand-name product, so how can I tell the generic name?
A. All brand-name drugs have a generic name. The generic name often appears next to or below the brand name and is the active ingredient in the medication. Ask your pharmacist if you have any questions.
Q. Will a generic medicine look like its brand-name equivalent?
A. The generic product will be a different shape or color, because the appearance of a brand-name drug is trademarked by the original manufacturer.
Q. Are all generic drug manufacturers the same?
A. No two companies are exactly alike. While all pharmaceutical companies, including generic drug manufacturers, must follow the same FDA regulations and undergo regular FDA inspections, there may be differences between companies in their investment in quality, research and development processes, and country of manufacture. In addition, companies can be large or small in size and offer a wide variety or only a small line of medications.
All of KVK’s drugs are manufactured in the U.S.A. and meet FDA standards. KVK is committed to providing high-quality and affordable medications.
Q. Where can I find more information on generic drugs?
A. There are helpful resources that can provide additional information on generic drugs:
U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
