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
Stugeron Medicine uses and Indications:
Stugeron medicine is an antihistamine medicine that functions in the brain. It prevents an area of the brain known as the vomiting center from receiving nerve messages sent from the inner ear. When something disturbs this part of the ear, nerve signals are sent from it to the vomiting center in the brain which can lead to sensations such as nausea, dizziness or spinning sensations and the reflex of vomiting.
Cinnarizine tablets work by blocking histamine receptors in the vomiting center in the brain. This prevents it from receiving nerve messages from the inner ear. As a result, disturbances in the middle ear prevent the activation of the vomiting center and causing nausea.
