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.
Afinitor is a cancer treatment medication that can be prescribed for treatment of different types of cancers and is available by prescription. Everolimus is an mTOR blocker class drug that works by slowing the growth of cancerous or tumor cells, and it is commonly prescribed to treat types of advanced or progressive tumors in the stomach, intestines, or pancreas. Afinitor medication may also be prescribed to treat tuberous sclerosis complex when there are benign tumors in the brain or kidney. Buy Afinitor from Canada and Canpharm and get the lowest Afinitor cost.
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex is a condition where non-cancerous (benign) tumors begin to build up in the body because cells don't stop dividing when they should. These tumors are not cancerous, but they can cause problems like breathing problems if they are in the lungs or may need to be addressed for other reasons. Medications like Afinitor can shrink the tumors and make the patient less affected by them. Most people with TSC will have inherited it from a parent, and symptoms usually appear at birth but you can develop TSC later in life.
