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
Timoptic Eye Drop Uses and Indications:
Timoptic eye drops belong to the class of medicines known as beta-blockers. They are used to treat increased pressure and glaucoma in the eye. This eye drops work by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye, thus helping to lower the pressure in the eye. This low pressure helps to prevent blindness. It may take 4 weeks or more before these eye drops could reduce the pressure in the eye.
Timoptic eye drops are easily available online from Canada Pharmacy at the best price.
