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.
Nasonex is an allergic rhinitis treatment medication available by prescription. It is used to provide allergy sufferers relief from sinus inflammation and symptoms, including irritation, sneezing, itchy or runny nose, and congestion. It is administered as a nasal spray directly into the sinuses and this direct administration contributes to the medication being fast acting and a good choice for those who experience severe allergy attacks. Note that Nasonex generic will contain 40 fewer doses than the 140 that come in the branded Nasonex nasal spray bottle. Buy Nasonex from Canada and Canpharm and get the best price on it.
