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
How do Canasa suppositories work?
Canasa suppositories (5-ASA)
Canasa 1000 mg suppositories are used to treat a bowel disease known as ulcerative proctitis. Although it does not completely cure ulcerative proctitis, it helps to reduce the number of stools, rectal bleeding due to irritation, the volume of blood in stools, and swelling of rectum/colon. It is an anti-inflammatory medicine that works by blocking the growth of certain chemicals in the body that may cause swelling and pain.
You can buy Canasa from Canada Pharmacy at the best rate.Directions
Read the information leaflet supplied with this medicine carefully before using it. It is also better to consult your doctor if you have any queries.
Canasa 1000 mg Suppositories are inserted rectally, once every day usually before bedtime. For lower strength suppositories you can use them more than once every day according to your doctor's instruction. The dosage of these suppositories depends on the severity of the patient's condition and response to treatment.
The best time to use this medication is after a bowel movement. Open the suppository right before using it. Try not to handle it too much as the heat from your hand may melt it. Lie down and with your finger gently insert it into the rectum. Keep lying down for a little while. The suppository will work best if you keep it in place for as long as you can. Avoid bowel movement for at least 1 to 3 hours. Regular use will help you get the maximum benefits. Consult your doctor if the ailment persists.Ingredients
