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
What is Remeron medication used for?
Chemical Name: MIRTAZAPINE (mir-TAZ-a-peen)
Remeron, also known as Mirtazapine, is an antidepressant. Antidepressants are drugs that help in relieving symptoms of depression that include insomnia, loss of appetite, feeling low, and lack of interest in activities that one would usually enjoy. When one is suffering from depression, certain chemicals are present in the brain that are no longer balanced out. Antidepressant medications help in balancing out these chemicals and making them normal again. Mirtazapine also helps in balancing out these chemicals present in the brain and relieves one from depression and its symptoms.
Remeron is available for purchase online at Canada Pharmacy at the best price.
