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.
Mycostatin cream is a topical antifungal medication used for fungal infection treatment and frequently prescribed to treat a skin yeast infection. This medicated cream may also be prescribed to treat fungal infections on the feet like athlete’s foot although a powdered version may be used in these instances. Nystatin is a polyene antifungal drug that is formulated to stop the growth of the fungal infection and allow for it to be cleared. You can buy Mycostatin cream with a prescription here at Canpharm.
