What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

    What is Hiprex?

    Hiprex Medication Hiprex (Methenamine)

    Hiprex medication is used to lessen the growth of drug-resistant bacteria and preserve the effectiveness of Hiprex Methenamine 1g tablets and other antibacterial medicines. Methenamine belongs to a group of medicine called an antibiotic. It is used to cure and avert urinary tract infections. Hiprex medication should only be used to prevent or treat infections that are confirmed or suspected to be produced by bacteria.

    Methenamine functions by killing bacteria present in the urinary tract. Hiprex medication also makes urine acidic and then turns Methenamine into formaldehyde to destroy the bacteria. You may buy Hiprex (Methenamine) from the official website of Canada Pharmacy if you suffer from:

    Directions

    • Drinking cranberry juice
    • Restraining foods that cut the acidity

    Take 1 tablet of Methenamine 1g twice every day via the mouth (preferably morning and night) for pediatric patients and adults. For the best results, you may take this medicine at the same time every day.
