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.

PROZAC is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressant. It is used for treating depression, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It also is used in combination with olanzapine (Zyprexa) for treatment of resistant depression and treatment of depression associated with bipolar disorder. This combination is also used to treat depression after at least 2 other medications have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms.
Take PROZAC exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to obtain optimal results. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
It may take up to 4 weeks before your symptoms improve. Keep using PROZAC as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 4 weeks of treatment. Do not stop using PROZAC suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to stop using PROZAC.
