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.

Product Details
Description
Qvar Easi Breathe Inhaler Uses:
Qavr Easi-Breathe also known as Beclometasone Dipropionate belongs to the group of medication known as corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are steroids that are used for treating patients with asthma. These anti-inflammatory drugs work by reducing the inflammation and swelling of airways and reduce the mucus production as well. This means that the airways are less inflamed and are less likely to react to any asthma trigger giving patients better control over their condition.
Qavr Easi Breathe is used for preventing mild, moderate, and severe symptoms of asthma. For people who require regular treatment for their asthma, this medication helps in making breathing easier. This medication works deep into the lungs and makes it easier to breathe. It is a prevention medication. Therefore, it needs to be taken on a daily basis, even if there are no symptoms. It is available for purchase online at Canada Pharmacy. You can have your order delivered directly to your doorstep without hassle.
