Arabic translation:أدوية بدون علامة تجاريّة
Explanation:

A generic drug is essentially an imitation of an original brand-name drug. When the patent or trademark protection on the original drug expires, copies or reproductions of the drug can be made. Many different companies may manufacture generics of the original drug. This means that many different versions of the same drug may be sold at the same time.

In other words: أدوية مقلّدة

agree  neuneutek: well, your translation is right but I am afraid your explanation and other terms are not so precise. generic drugs are those WITH NONPROPRIETARY NAME. it just describes a legal status for pharma co.s not the drug itself!!lأدوية مقلدة is not right!
