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.
The Symbicort Turbuhaler is an asthma maintenance inhaler available by prescription and used to reduce the severity and frequency of asthma attacks or COPD flare-ups. Users will take inhalations twice a day every day to keep their asthma in check, and the two active ingredients work very differently to treat asthma or COPD symptoms. Budesonide is an anti-inflammatory medication that reduces inflammation in the lungs, and Formoterol is a LABA bronchodilator that promotes the relaxation of the muscles around the airways into the lungs. Buy Symbicort Turbuhaler from Canpharm for the best price on it.

Is Symbicort Turbuhaler a Steroid?
