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.
Teveten, available by prescription, is a medication used to treat hypertension in adults and lower their blood pressure. Eprosartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, helps lower high blood pressure by dilating blood vessels, thus reducing pressure and associated health risks. Additionally, Teveten may be prescribed as an adjunctive treatment for angina. Teveten can be purchased in Canada from Canpharm, offering competitive pricing.
Hypertension, the clinical term for high blood pressure, is defined as having a systolic pressure of 130 mm Hg or higher, or a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg or higher. There are Stage 1 and Stage 2 hypertension diagnoses, and a hypertensive crisis occurs when blood pressure is so high that immediate medical attention is required. If left untreated, hypertension can lead to serious conditions such as stroke, heart failure, kidney damage, vision loss, erectile dysfunction, and memory loss. Excessive dietary sodium is a significant factor in exacerbating hypertension in adults.
