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.

Product Details
Description
Redesca (enoxaparin sodium) is an injectable medication that is prescribed to prevent blood clots that can occur following orthopedic hip or knee surgery, high-risk abdominal, gynecological, or urological surgeries, colorectal surgery, or in patients who are at risk for blood clots. It’s also used to prevent blood clot formations in the extracorporeal circulation during hemodialysis.
Redesca is also used to treat blood clots, unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (with aspirin), and a form of heart attack called acute ST-segment elevation of myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Redesca is available in single-dose, prefilled syringes with protective needle shields. The syringes come in the following strengths:
- 30 mg/0.3 mL
- 40 mg/0.4 mL
- 60 mg/0.6 mL
- 80 mg/0.8 mL
- 100 mg/mL
Redesca is also available in 300 mg/3 mL multiple-dose vials.
Directions
Use Redesca injection as directed by your doctor. Carefully read the leaflet that comes with your prescription for proper use information. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
Your doctor will determine an appropriate dose for you depending on the reason for needing Redesca. Your healthcare provider will teach you how to properly prepare and inject Redesca and how often you should inject it. You should also be trained on the appropriate disposal of syringes, vials, and needles. Never share or reuse needles.
Redesca is recommended to be injected underneath the skin into the fat of the lower abdomen. The injection site should be at least 5 centimeters away from your belly button and out toward the sides of your body.
Redesca should be stored below 25°C (77°F) but not frozen.
The multiple-dose vials should be properly discarded after 28 days from the first use.
Keep all medications away from children.
Ingredients
Enoxaparin is the active ingredient in Redesca. Water for injection is the inactive ingredient in the prefilled syringes. A preservative, benzyl alcohol, is the inactive ingredient in the multiple-dose vials.
