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.

    Relenza is a prescription influenza treatment medication taken as a breathable powder that works to suppress the flu virus and keep it from spreading in your body. The Relenza generic name is Zanamivir, and it is an antiviral drug that is effective for helping a person overcome the flu more quickly or to prevent the flu from onsetting if taken at first sign of contracting the virus. The Relenza Diskhaler is similar in constituency and function to Tamiflu, but for some people the inhaled Relenza medication works more quickly and effectively.
