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.
Arazlo is an acne treatment medication available by prescription and used to reduce the severity of acne and promote more blemish-free skin on the face, back, or other parts of the body. Tazarotene is a powerful retinoid that works to slow skin cell overgrowth and decrease skin cell inflammation. Arazlo may also be prescribed to treat psoriasis or as part of a skin photoaging treatment regimen, and users for psoriasis or acne treatment can expect to see improvement in their skin within 1 to 4 weeks of starting treatment. Buy Arazlo from Canada and Canpharm and get the best price on it.
Acne is a skin condition where blemishes including blackheads and whiteheads appear on the skin due to bacterial growth in skin pores that are clogged due to overproduction of sebum from sebaceous glands. Overactive glands are seen most commonly in youth and young adults, and untreated acne may cause pitting of the skin and permanent scarring. For most acne sufferers an OTC acne cream will be sufficient for treatment and reduction of acne, but others with more severe acne outbreaks will need an Rx acne medication.
