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.
Visco-3 is a knee osteoarthritis treatment medication available by prescription and administered as an injection once a week. It is effective for reducing knee pain caused by inflammation of arthritis and will often be prescribed when oral pain reliever medications are not working well enough. Hyaluronate is very similar in constituency to a substance that occurs naturally in the joints, and it improves lubrication as well as reinforcing the knee against pressure and shocks. Buy Visco 3 from Canada and Canpharm and get the lowest Visco-3 injection cost.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, and it occurs when cartilage in the joint begins to break down and the bone under the joint begins to change. This results in the person suffering pain, stiffness, and swelling. For some people osteoarthritis in their joints may be debilitating to the point that they have trouble working or doing daily tasks. Osteoarthritis most commonly affects the hands, hips, and knees and it affects men and women equally.
