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.
Starlix is a Type 2 diabetes treatment medication used to regulate blood glucose levels for people with diabetes. Nateglinide is a meglitinide class drug that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin and this greater quantity of insulin more blood sugar is channeled into cells for energy rather than passing into the bloodstream. Starlix will usually be prescribed as part of a treatment regimen that also requires diet changes and increased cardiovascular exercise for lower A1C scores.
