What is a Generic Drug?

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.

Description

Tobrex is an antibacterial eye drop that is used to stop bacterial infections in the eye. Tobramyclin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic drug that is formulated to take away the bacteria’s ability to grow and further the infection so that the body’s immune system is then able to clear it. It is administered as a drop that goes directly into the eye and other common Tobrex eye drop uses are to treat bacterial pink eye or endophthalmitis. You can buy Tobrex with a prescription here at Canpharm.
