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

    Colestid is a prescription medication to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of strokes or heart attacks due to clogged arteries. It is a bile-acid binding resin medication that removes bile acid from the body to lower cholesterol levels and is most effective when the patient also incorporates diet and lifestyle changes to go along with their high cholesterol medication. It is common for doctors to start patients on a lower dose of Colestid and then work it up as they monitor the person’s cholesterol levels and determine what their ideal maintenance dosage will be. Colestid for diarrhea treatment is possible for people due to too much bile in the intestines.

    You can buy Colestid online with a doctor’s prescription and get the best price on this cholesterol lowering drug when you order medication online from Canada.
