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.
Accolate is an asthma medication available by prescription that reduces shortness of breath and wheezing for people who struggle with asthma. It is an asthma maintenance medication, and this means you take it on an ongoing basis to lower the frequency and severity of asthma attacks. Most asthmatics will use an asthma rescue inhaler to counteract asthma attacks as they occur, but Accolate medication is taken daily as a medication to prevent severe asthma attacks. Buy Accolate from Canpharm and get the best price on it.

How does Accolate work?
Accolate (zafirlukast) is a medicine for asthma. When you have asthma, some chemicals called leukotrienes can make your airways in the lungs inflamed and narrow, making it hard to breathe. Accolate helps by stopping the leukotrienes from causing inflammation and relaxing the muscles in the airways. This makes breathing easier.
Is Accolate a rescue or control medication?
Accolate is not typically used as a rescue medication for asthma. Rescue medications, such as short-acting beta-agonists like albuterol, are fast-acting drugs that provide quick relief during an asthma attack. Accolate, on the other hand, is classified as a controller medication. Controller medications are taken on a regular basis to manage and prevent asthma symptoms over the long term. They help control inflammation in the airways and reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.
Is Accolate a generic name?
No, Accolate is the brand name for the medication whose generic name is zafirlukast. Brand names are given by pharmaceutical companies to their specific products, while generic names are the names of the active ingredient(s) in the medication. In this case, zafirlukast is the generic name of the medication, and Accolate is one of the brand names it is marketed under.
How does Accolate help control asthma?
Accolate controls asthma by blocking leukotrienes, which cause airway inflammation and constriction. By inhibiting leukotrienes, Accolate reduces inflammation and relaxes the muscles around the airways. This relieves asthma symptoms like wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Taking Accolate as prescribed improves lung function by keeping asthma symptoms in check.
Is zafirlukast a steroid?
No, zafirlukast (generic name for Accolate) is not a steroid. It belongs to a different class of medications called antileukotrienes. Steroids, such as inhaled corticosteroids (e.g., fluticasone, budesonide) or oral corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone), are another type of medication commonly used in asthma treatment. They reduce inflammation in the airways. Zafirlukast (Accolate) works differently by blocking the effects of leukotrienes, while steroids primarily target and reduce airway inflammation.
