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 Patanase nasal spray used for?
Patanase Nasal Spray (Olopatadine)
Patanase nasal spray is an antihistamine and is used to relieve symptoms of allergies. When your body comes into contact with things that trigger your allergies, your body starts making chemicals known as histamines. These chemicals then cause the tissues in your nose area to swell up which leads to a stuffy, runny, and itchy nose. Antihistamines help in reducing these histamines and block them. There are different types of antihistamines available that you can use to treat allergic reactions. However, Patanase nasal spray is considered by many as the most suitable form of antihistamine for nasal issues caused by seasonal allergies.
You can purchase Patanase nasal spray online from Canada Pharmacy at the best price.
