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.
Rilutek is an ALS treatment medication available by prescription, used to slow the progression of this nerve disease, and improve the patient's chances of survival with better treatment outcomes. Riluzole, a benzothiazole derivative drug, is used for motor neuron diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It works by blocking glutamatergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. This medication can delay the onset of ventilator dependence or the need for a tracheotomy in ALS patients. Buy Rilutek from Canada and Canpharm to get the lowest Rilutek cost.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by the extensive death of motor neurons in the brain. This results in the person becoming progressively more paralyzed as the brain becomes unable to communicate with the muscles in the body required for movement, including walking, talking, eating, swallowing, and breathing.
