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.

Directions

Before applying Cutivate, clean the affected area(s) of the skin. Apply a thin layer of Cutivate to the affected area(s) of the skin every 12 to 24 hours. Gently rub in the medication. You should not bandage, wrap, or cover the area unless your doctor told you to. After each use, wash your hands unless you are using the medication to treat your hands. If your condition has not improved within two weeks, contact your doctor.
Do not apply the medication to your face, groin, or underarms. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, and mouth. Do not use it for diaper rash unless your doctor has directed you to do so.
