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.
Arcoxia is a rheumatoid arthritis treatment medication that provides powerful pain relief for people afflicted with the condition. Etoricoxib works by counteracting the effect of the COX-2 enzyme to limit the inflammatory process and provides arthritis pain relief. Arcoxia may be a better choice for those more at risk of stomach ulcers because of long-term use of other NSAIDs. Arcoxia is also prescribed for acute gouty arthritis treatment and you can buy Arcoxia with a prescription here at Canpharm.
