Top Generic choice
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.
Lidocaine is a topical anesthetic cream used as a skin-numbing medication that desensitizes skin and reduces pain susceptibility. Lidocaine ointment USP 5 may also be used for relief from skin irritations like burns, sunburns, insect bites, contact with plants like poison oak and poison ivy plus hemorrhoid treatment. Lidocaine works by blocking nerve signals from reaching receptors in your epidermal skin layer, and it may be used to numb skin before medical or cosmetic procedures if needed.
