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.
Fosrenol is an end stage kidney disease treatment medication available by prescription and used to keep phosphate levels balanced when the patient is receiving dialysis treatment.

Kidney disease is when a person has kidney damage or decreased kidney function, and their kidneys cannot eliminate waste and excess fluids as much as the body needs. Most people will not progress to end-stage kidney and treatment outcomes are favorable for most people with Fosrenol use or another kidney failure medication.
