Yuvafem is a branded-generic drug, which means it’s an exact copy of the active ingredient in a brand-name medication. It contains the active drug, estradiol. Usually, generic drugs are referred to by the name of their active drug(s). But branded-generic drugs are given a trade name by the manufacturer. They’re considered to be as safe and effective as the original drug. And branded generics tend to cost less than brand-name drugs.
