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.
BRICANYL TURBUHALER is used to treat asthma, bronchitis and emphysema. BRICANYL TURBUHALER contains the medicine terbutaline. Terbutaline belongs to the class of drugs called bronchodilators. Bronchodilators relax the muscles in your airways. This helps to open your airways, making it easier for you to breathe. BRICANYL TURBUHALER relieves sudden symptoms such as wheezing, cough and shortness of breath.
Follow your doctor's directions carefully. Usual dose for Adults and children 6 years of age and older: • one inhalation as needed. • If needed, you may take a second dose. Wait five minutes for the first dose to take effect before taking the second dose. • If your symptoms persist after the second dose, consult your doctor or the nearest hospital right away. • You should not take more than six inhalations (3.0 mg) in a 24-hour period.
