What is a Generic Drug?

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.

Description

Rhofade is a rosacea treatment medication used to reduce persistent facial erythema, which is skin redness caused by rosacea. Oxymetazoline is a decongestant drug that shrinks blood vessels so that the ones leading to epidermal skin of the face cannot supply enough blood to cause reddened skin because of rosacea. The cream is applied directly to the skin and users usually start to see improvements with their skin and less redness in a short period of time. You can buy Rhofade cream with a prescription here at Canpharm.
