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.
Avodart is an enlarged prostate treatment medication available by prescription and used to treat BPH in men for relief of urinary urgency, difficulty starting to urinate, and other symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase drug that forces the prostate to reduce in size, and this means it puts less pressure on the bladder or urethra. This medication may also be prescribed to lessen the chance that a man with BPH may need major surgery for it. Buy Avodart from Canada and Canpharm and get the best Avodart price on it.
BPH is a common health disorder that affects men as they get older, and it is caused when the prostate grows in size and impinges on space for the bladder and urethra, causing more urgent needs to urinate, urinating more often, and having difficulty emptying the bladder. If left untreated BPH may progress into urinary incontinence.
