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.
The Neupro Transdermal Patch is a Parkinson’s disease treatment medication that may also be prescribed to treat restless legs syndrome. Rotigotine is a dopamine agonist drug that works to rebalance neurotransmitter levels in the brain, and making it so that more dopamine is present at all times. The patch is placed on the skin and will release measured amounts of the medication throughout the day so that so that dyskinesia and other symptoms of Parkinson’s are less severe.
