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.

    This medication is to be taken orally; you can take it with or without food as your doctor has directed you. This medication is taken once a day, usually in the morning; however, if you feel drowsy after taking it, you may talk to your doctor about taking it in the evenings instead. Taking this medication with some food will help in decreasing nausea. The dosage is based on your health, age, and your response to the treatment. To prevent the risk of side effects, your doctor may prescribe you a lower dosage initially.

It is important that you follow your doctor's directions clearly. Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor as you might experience withdrawal symptoms.
