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.
Solaraze (Diclofenac) is a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, also known as a NSAID. Solaraze, which contains 3% Diclofenac, is used to treat actinic keratoses, a precancerous skin growth usually caused by sun exposure. It is also used to treat pain and other symptoms of arthritis in the joints, such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness and joint pain. This topical medication, which has a generic name of Diclofenac, works by reducing levels of certain hormones that cause pain and inflammation in the body.
