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
Zensa is an OTC skin numbing cream used topically to desensitize skin in advance of painful procedures like injections, tattooing of skin, laser hair removal, microblading or before using wax depilatories. Lidocaine works by temporarily deactivating nerve endings in the treated area of skin so that pain is felt less acutely during the procedure. This skin desensitizer cream also contains Vitamin E Acetate to promote faster redness reduction and skin healing.
