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
Azopt Eye Drops Interactions and Uses
Chemical Name BRINZOLAMIDE (brin-ZOH-la-mide)
Azopt eye drops (Brinzolamide)
Azopt generic belongs to the class of medications called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. It is widely available as eye drops. The main function of Azopt eye drops is to reduce the high pressure inside the eye for people due to glaucoma. Fluid is constantly being produced and secreted out of the eye. When this fluid is not removed out of the eye properly, or too much fluid is produced, the pressure inside the eye tends to increase. Brinzolamide works by reducing the amount of fluid produced by the eye.
You can easily buy Azopt eye drops from Canada Pharmacy while sitting in the comforts of your home to enjoy 100% genuine products being delivered right at your doorstep.
