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.

Description
Zyloprim Uses and Indications:
Chemical Name: ALLOPURINOL (al-oh-PURE-i-nole)
Zyloprim (Allopurinol)
Zyloprim is a medicinal drug used to lower high uric acid levels in the bloodstream. It works by inhibiting the excessive production of uric acid. Zyloprim is also prescribed to prevent gout, kidney stones, kidney damage and other adverse effects of high uric acid.
Zyloprim is available in two dosages: Zyloprim 100mg and Zyloprim 300 mg. You can purchase both allopurinol 100mg tablets and 300 mg tablets online at Canada Pharmacy.
Directions
This medication is to be taken orally, once daily or as prescribed by your doctor to achieve optimal results. Take it at the same time each day; it is recommended to swallow it while drinking a full glass of water.
If you are suffering from gout, the medication may be prescribed for several weeks to have an effect. You may still experience gout attacks while Zyloprim removes the excess uric acid. This drug does not relieve pain, for that; consult your doctor for prescriptions.
