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
Rulid Uses and Indications:
Rulid is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. It is very similar in composition, chemical structure, and mechanism of action to erythromycin, azithromycin, or clarithromycin. Rulid prevents bacteria from growing, by interfering with their protein synthesis. Rulid has a similar antimicrobial spectrum as erythromycin but is more effective against certain gram-negative bacteria, particularly Legionella pneumophila. It can treat respiratory tract, urinary and soft tissue infections. Roxithromycin is preferred for treating otitis media, sinusitis, and pneumonia.
You can purchase Rulid online from Canada Pharmacy at the best price possible.
