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.
Humatin is an intestinal amebiasis treatment medication available by prescription, and it may also be used in conjunction with a special diet to treat hepatic encephalopathy when a person has liver disease. Paromomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that stops the growth of parasitic bacteria in the intestine, and it is prescribed for intestinal infections only. As with all antibiotics, it is important to finish all the medication dispensed to you, even if you feel confident that you no longer have the bacterial infection. Buy Humatin from Canada and Canpharm and get the best price on it.
Amebiasis is a parasitic infection of the intestines caused by amoeba Entamoeba histolytica or E. histolytica bacteria and symptoms of this infection include loose stools and abdominal cramping, but it is common for people with this infection to not have any significant symptoms. People who are at the highest risk of contracting an amebiasis infection are people in tropical locations with poor civic sanitation, and people with suppressed immune systems.
