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.
Altace HCT is a hypertension treatment medication available by prescription, used to lower high blood pressure and reduce the associated health risks of unchecked hypertension. Ramipril, an ACE inhibitor drug, works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and consequently lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, further aids in lowering blood pressure by eliminating excess salt and water. Buy Altace HCT from Canada and Canpharm to get the best price.
Hypertension, the clinical term for high blood pressure, is defined as having sustained blood pressure readings of a systolic pressure of 130 mm Hg or higher, or a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg or higher. There are Stage 1 and Stage 2 hypertension diagnoses, as well as hypertensive crises, where a person's blood pressure is so high that immediate medical attention is required. Untreated hypertension can lead to stroke, heart failure, kidney damage, vision loss, erectile dysfunction, and memory loss. Excess dietary sodium is a major contributor to worsening hypertension in adults.
