What is a Generic Drug?

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.

Description

Asacol is an inflammatory bowel disease treatment medication available by prescription, and it is most commonly prescribed to treat ulcerative colitis. This medication is part of the aminosalicylates class of drugs, and it works by decreasing swelling in the colon, so diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and stomach pain are reduced. The standard dosage timeline for Asacol medication is to use it for up to 6 weeks for relief of IBD pain and irritation, but if symptoms do not subside after this time, you may need to see a doctor again. Buy Asacol from Canpharm and get the best price on it.

What Is Inflammatory Bowel Disease?

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to a group of chronic conditions that cause inflammation in the digestive tract. The two main types of IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Both conditions involve the immune system mistakenly attacking the gastrointestinal tract, leading to persistent inflammation and various symptoms. Crohn's disease can affect any part of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the anus, while ulcerative colitis primarily affects the colon and rectum.
