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
Tyrvaya (Varenicline Solution) is a nasal spray used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. This prescription medication contains a selective cholinergic agonist. Specifically, it targets various nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, helping to increase tear production.
Directions
Tyrvaya is typically taken once into each nostril twice a day, approximately 12 hours apart. If a dose is missed, skip it and continue with the next scheduled dose. Do not take an extra dose to make up for the missed one.
- Preparation: Before first use, remove the cap and clip. Hold the bottle upright, place fingers on the base, and prime the spray away from your face.
- Application: Place the tip of the applicator at the entrance of your nostril. Press your tongue to the roof of your mouth, breathe gently, and press the applicator to release the mist inside your nostril.
- Post-use: Replace the cap and clip after each use to keep the applicator clean and secure.
It's important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions closely to ensure proper administration and effectiveness.Ingredients
