Epinephrine Lifeshield

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.

    Description

    The Epinephrine Lifeshield is a prescription emergency anaphylaxis injection that works to raise mean arterial blood pressure in patients with hypotension resulting from unexpected exposure to allergens that come with serious health risks. This injection may also be used to counter septic shock or in other instances prescribed for mydriasis during intraocular surgery. These emergency anaphylactic shock injections are used when a person may go into shock and be in serious danger when immediate medical care is inaccessible. One common example of epinephrine uses is people with bee sting allergy who carry this product with them when outdoors in summer.

    You can buy epinephrine pen with a prescription, and your best price on it will be when you order medication online from Canada Pharmacy.
