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.
Matulane is a Hodgkins lymphoma treatment medication available by prescription and it is often prescribed along with other medications as part of an advanced-stage cancer treatment regimen. Procarbazine is an alkylating drug, and it works by making cancer cells unable to make the proteins and genetic material needed for the cells to grow and survive. Matulane is usually prescribed for patients with Stage 3 or Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. Buy Matulane from Canada and Canpharm and get the lowest Matulane cost on it.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Lymphocytes (white blood cells) increase in numbers exponentially and mutate into abnormal and cancerous Reed-Sternberg cells causing swollen lymph nodes. There are four Hodgkin's lymphoma subtypes, with nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma, mixed cellularity Hodgkin lymphoma, lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma, and lymphocyte depleted Hodgkin lymphoma. This cancer tends to occur most frequently in people between the ages of 20 to 40 or then after 65.
