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.
Avonex is a prescription medication to treat multiple sclerosis and specifically for treatment of relapse-remitting MS, active secondary progressive MS, or with clinically isolated syndrome. It is a biologic medication given as a muscular injection to aid with slowing disability progression from MS, reducing relapses, and lowering the number of brain lesions on MRI. The active ingredient in this medication is Interferon-beta 1a and it works to reorient your immune system so that it is not attacking nerve fibers as extensively to cause MS symptoms and it helps with decreased inflammation too.
