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.
Tribenzor is a combination medication designed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains three active ingredients: Amlodipine, Olmesartan, and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCT). These components work synergistically to help lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, blocking substances that tighten blood vessels, and helping the body get rid of excess salt and water.
Before you buy Tribenzor for treating high blood pressure, make sure you talk to your healthcare provider about its effectiveness and potential side effects.
