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

    Toprol XL Medicine Uses:

    Toprol XL Generic

    Chemical Name: METOPROLOL (me-TOE-proe-lole)

    Toprol XL is a beta-blocker medicine which is used for the treatment of heart patients. This particular medicine functions primarily by restricting and blocking the action of certain types of natural chemicals. An example of such natural chemicals that are present in the human body is epinephrine. This substance is known to affect the heart and also your blood vessels.

    This particular medicine then comes into play as it is used for treating chest pain, heart failure, and high blood pressure. By lowering your blood pressure to the normal range, it aids in preventing strokes, heart attacks, and also kidney problems. This then also puts less strain on your heart.
