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.
Vesicare is an overactive bladder treatment medication available by prescription and used to give people better control over their urination. Solifenacin is an antispasmodic drug that works by stopping muscles in the bladder from spasming, and it can also help with urinary incontinence for people who have urine leakage because of OAB (Overactive Bladder) disorder. The symptoms can also be because of neurogenic detrusor overactivity and related to dysfunction with nerves supplying the detrusor muscle, but Vesicare is effective for treatment in these cases too. Buy Vesicare from Canada and Canpharm to get the best price on it.
Overactive bladder disorder involves frequent and sudden urges to urinate that are difficult to control, and it occurs when the muscles of the bladder begin to contract involuntarily even though the volume of urine in the bladder is low. This causes frequent urges to urinate or urine leakage. OAB disorder can develop naturally or be the result of neurological disorders, diabetes, infections, hormonal changes, bladder stones, or an enlarged prostate.
