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.
oriatane is a psoriasis treatment medication used to suppress the cell multiplication in the skin that causes the formation of the red and raised plaques that occur when someone has this skin disorder. Acitretin is a retinoid Vitamin-A synthetic that is formulated to control the speed of skin cell growth and shedding, and this medication is usually prescribed for resistant psoriasis where standard treatment approaches that may include other Rx drugs are not providing sufficient relief from symptoms. You can buy Soriatane with a prescription here at Canpharm.
