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.

    • After initiation of OSENI and after dose increases, monitor
      patients carefully for signs and symptoms of heart failure (e.g., excessive, rapid weight gain, dyspnea, and/or edema). If heart failure develops, it should be managed according to current standards of care and discontinuation or dose reduction of pioglitazone in OSENI must be considered.
    • OSENI is not recommended in patients with symptomatic heart failure.
    • Initiation of OSENI in patients with established New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure is contraindicated. 
    • Before you start taking Oseni, tell your doctor:

    • Oseni can cause acute pancreatitis. Seek medical care right away if you develop pain in your abdomen, pain that radiates from your abdomen to your back, tenderness of the abdomen, fever, quickened pulse, nausea, and vomiting.
    • Oseni can cause liver problems that can sometimes be fatal. 
    • Oseni can cause swelling.
    • Oseni can increase the risk for fractures in female patients.
    • Oseni can increase the risk for bladder cancer. If you have a history of bladder cancer, caution should be used. Do not take Oseni if you have active bladder cancer.
