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.

Dristan Nasal Mist Use and Side Effects
Dristan Nasal Mist
Dristan nasal mist is a combination product of two medicines that are phenylephrine and pheniramine. Phenylephrine belongs to the class of medications called decongestants which helps clears up the nasal passages by narrowing the blood vessels in the nose. Pheniramine, on the other hand, belongs to the family of medications called antihistamines. Its function is to reduce a runny nose, and it carries out its function by blocking histamine, a substance released by the body that causes allergy symptoms. This medication is used for temporary relief of stuffy nose due to allergies, the common cold, hay fever, or sinus inflammation.
You can easily purchase the medicine Dristan Nasal Mist online from Canada Pharmacy and have it be directly delivered to your doorstep without a hassle.
Directions
Before using the spray, gently blow your nose. By using one of your fingers, close the nostril on the side not receiving the medication. Keep your head upright, place the spray tip into the open nostril and spray the medication into the open nostril as you breathe in through your nose. Sniff hard a few times to make sure that the medication reaches deep into the nose. Repeat these steps for the other nostril as well if needed.
