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.

    Bio-Dyne is a trademarked ingredient originally found in certain formulations of Preparation H, a product used to relieve symptoms of hemorrhoids. In its original formulation, Bio-Dyne contained live yeast cell derivatives, which were believed to help with tissue healing and inflammation. However, the formulations and availability of Bio-Dyne can vary by country, and in some regions, it may not be included in hemorrhoid treatments anymore. Always consult a healthcare professional for advice on treating hemorrhoids.

    Preparation H can help provide relief from hemorrhoid symptoms such as swelling and discomfort relatively quickly, often within a few days of regular use. However, the time it takes to see a noticeable reduction in swelling can vary depending on the severity of the hemorrhoids and individual response to the treatment. It's important to follow the instructions on the packaging and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
