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 Tiazac (Diltiazem) Medication 120mg, 240mg Used For?
Chemical Name: DILTIAZEM (dil-TYE-a-zem) Extended Release
Tiazac medication belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It is used for the treatment of high blood pressure and chronic angina. Lowering high blood pressure can help prevent heart attacks, kidney problems, and strokes. Regular use of this drug can help decrease the severity and number of chest pain from angina. This medicine works by relaxing the blood vessels in the heart and body, thus helping the blood to flow more easily. It also lowers the heart rate which helps the heart to work less.
Tiazac capsules which contain diltiazem 120 mg and diltiazem 240 mg are readily available at Canada Pharmacy for the best price. Your order will be directly delivered to your doorstep.
