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.

Directions

Before you use Pataday allergy eye drops, wash your hands thoroughly.

It is advised to administer a single drop of Pataday in each affected eye, once a day.

Refrain from touching the dropper tip with your eyes, hands, or any other surface.

Once you have placed a drop of Pataday in your eye, close your eye and gently press one finger against the inner corner of your eye near the nose.

Maintain light pressure for approximately one minute. This technique aids in ensuring that your eye effectively absorbs the medication.
