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

    Lotensin Uses and Indications:

    Chemical Name: BENAZEPRIL (ben-AY-ze-pril)

    Lotensin (Benazepril HCL)

    This remedy is a combination of two pills; an ACE inhibitor (benazepril) and a water pill (hydrochlorothiazide)/diuretic. It is used to treat high blood pressure. Benazepril works by relaxing the blood vessels, causing them to widen. The hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) increases the amount of urine you pass, consequently decreasing extra water and salts in your body. Reducing excessive blood stress prevents strokes, coronary heart assaults, and kidney troubles.
