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.

Product Details
Description
Ultra-fine syringes and needles are used for subcutaneous (under the skin) injections. The most commonly used subcutaneous injections are insulin for people with diabetes mellitus.
Needles and syringes come in a variety of sizes. The gauge (G) designates the needle's thickness, and the mm specifies the length of the needle in millimeters.
Directions
Before giving yourself an injection, thoroughly wash your hands and the area for injection beforehand.
Ask your healthcare provider to show you how to draw the medication into the syringe using the needle.
Injections are administered at a 90-degree angle (straight down).
Common injection sites include the abdomen, thighs, and back of the arm(s).
Ingredients
Needle: Made of stainless steel, it is designed to be sharp and durable. The needle is often coated with a lubricant to make injections smoother and less painful.
Syringe Barrel: Usually made of plastic, it is marked with measurement indicators for accurate dosing. The barrel holds the medication or substance to be injected.
Plunger: Also typically made of plastic, this part is used to draw in and expel the substance from the syringe barrel.
Hub: This is the part of the needle that connects to the syringe. It is often made of a hard plastic.
Cap: A plastic cap covers the needle to maintain sterility before use.
Packaging: These syringes and needles are individually packaged in sterile conditions to prevent contamination.
Cautions
Do not share needles with others and never use a needle for more than one injection.
Only use subcutaneous needles for injection under the skin and not for other sites.
Side Effects
The use of Ultra-Fine syringes and needles, especially for insulin injections or other medical purposes, can have some potential side effects or complications, primarily related to the injection process rather than the syringes and needles themselves. These include:
- Pain or discomfort at the injection site
- Bruising and bleeding where the needle enters the skin
- Infection at the injection site
- Allergic reactions to the materials used in the needle or syringe
- Lipodystrophy (changes in fatty tissue, either lipoatrophy or lipohypertrophy)
- Nerve damage (rare)
- Hypoglycemia (specific to insulin injections)
