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.
Novatears Omega 3 is a prescription medication used to treat evaporative dry eye disease. The eyedrops lubricate the surface of the eye and provide better lipid layer stability for the tear film so that tears will not evaporate so quickly. The active ingredients in Novatears Omega 3 eye drops are Perfluorohexyloctane and Omega 3 fatty acids.
Perfluorohexyloctane is an amphiphilic liquid with very low surface tension and viscosity that provides better relief for dry eyes than is possible with saline liquid. Better tear film thickness and lipid layer thickness means eyes are more properly lubricated. Omega-3 fatty acids are a natural component in human tear film with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that make dry eye disease less severe.
Evaporative dry eye disease is a condition where accelerated tear evaporation occurs because of lack of oil production in the tear film means the eyeball is not properly lubricated. This happens when the meibomian glands on the edge of your eyelids function improperly because they have become clogged.
Dry eye disease is more common in older people, and women have it more often than men. It is more common for diabetics and people with oily skin conditions too.
