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.
Steglujan is a medication for treating Type 2 diabetes, available by prescription. It helps improve blood sugar control in individuals who are insulin resistant. This medication contains two active ingredients that work together to promote insulin production, reduce sugar production by the body, and increase the utilization of existing blood sugar by cells for energy. For the best results in lowering blood sugar, users should enhance their diet and engage in more cardiovascular exercise. Steglujan can be purchased from Canada and Canpharm, offering competitive pricing.
