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.
Olumiant is a rheumatoid arthritis treatment medication available by prescription and used to relieve joint and pain stiffness resulting from the inflammation of arthritis. It is most commonly prescribed when TNF blocker medications aren't working well enough for rheumatoid arthritis relief and in rarer instances it may be used to treat severe alopecia areata in adults. Baricitinib is a JAK inhibitor class drug that suppresses immune system activity so that less inflammation occurs in the affected joints.
