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.

It is a skin disease that causes the person to have clusters of small blisters and bumps developing on their skin and is caused by a sensitivity or intolerance to gluten. When gluten combines with a specific antibody in the intestines they clog small blood vessels in the skin, and this is the cause of the itchy blisters and bumps. Dermatitis herpetiformis usually onsets for people between their 30s and 50s, and it is a lifelong condition that affects men more often than women.
