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.

- Severe digestive disorders
Cautions
Consulting a veterinarian before starting any new supplement regimen is important. Considerations to keep in mind include:
- Consult your vet if your pet has pre-existing health conditions such as kidney, liver, or gastrointestinal issues.
- Check for any potential allergies to the supplement's ingredients like N-Acetyl Glucosamine, digestive enzymes, and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
- Inform your veterinarian about any other medications your pet is taking to avoid any harmful interactions.
- Discuss if your pet is pregnant or nursing, as specific ingredients may affect her and her offspring.
- Monitor your pet for any unusual behavior or reactions after starting the supplement and report them to your vet promptly.
- Follow all dosing instructions carefully and avoid overdosing. Adjustments in dosage might be necessary based on the pet's size, breed, and health status.
Side Effects
Acetylator for cats and dogs may cause several side effects. Commonly reported effects include minor gastrointestinal issues such as flatulence and soft stools. Some pets might experience mild digestive discomfort or changes in stool consistency, especially when they first begin taking the supplement. Keep an eye on your pet's digestion, particularly during initial use or following dosage adjustments.
In rare cases, more serious side effects may appear. These can include hypersensitivity reactions, especially in pets with allergies to shellfish, since many glucosamine products are derived from shellfish. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can involve skin irritations, rashes, or even breathing difficulties. Immediate veterinary attention should be sought if any severe symptoms occur.
