Overall 5.00 Quality  5.00 Value for money 5.00 Reviewer: Deborah H Location: Fayetteville Written on: February 27, 2017 | Glad I found Canada Pharmacy The medication was brand name and worked just as it was supposed to as evidenced by my good eye exam after a month of use. It is horribly expensive in the USA even with insurance. Canada Pharmacy prices allowed me to have the quality drops my doctor felt was best for me at an affordable price. ✓ I recommend this product 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. |

Overall 4.00 Quality 5.00 Value for money 4.00 Reviewer: Barbara Freed J. Location: Camden Written on: February 20, 2015 | Price increase The cost of this medication jumped from $49/7.5 ml bottle in 2014 to $62/ 7.5 ml bottle in 2015.

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.
