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.
The Ventolin HFA inhaler is an asthma rescue inhaler that is used for asthma attack relief and to stop the wheezing and breathing difficulties that come with them. The active ingredients in this inhaler are Albuterol and Salbutamol. They are bronchodilators that relax muscles around the airway so they don’t contribute to the constriction of it as much and the person is able to breathe more easily. It is different from an asthma maintenance inhaler in that it is designed for use as an asthma attack is underway and not to be used on an ongoing and preventative basis like you would with a maintenance inhaler. You can buy Ventolin inhaler with a prescription here at Canpharm.
