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.

Description

Amantadine is a prescription medication for treatment of Parkinson’s disease, and it reduces the severity of dyskinesia (involuntary movement) in people with Parkinson’s. Other Amantadine uses are to treat influenza A virus or for drug-induced movement disorders. When used for Parkinson’s treatment Amantadine is usually used in combination with other medications and it works by increasing dopamine levels in the brain to allow the patient to have better control over their movement. This improvement may not be seen for several weeks after beginning to take the medication.

You can buy Amantadine with a doctor’s prescription at your local pharmacy, and the best price on it will be when you order medication online from Canada Drugs Direct.

Directions

Take once or twice daily with or without food as directed by your doctor.

Dosage will be based on medical condition and response to therapy.

If taking Amantadine for viral infection it is important to finish the medication completely, even if infection appears to have cleared.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Amantadine is Symmetrel.

Cautions

Tell your doctor if you have any history of swelling of the arms or legs (peripheral edema), heart problems like congestive heart failure, blood pressure problems, kidney disease, liver disease, mental or mood conditions like depression or psychosis, seizures, or skin conditions like eczematoid dermatitis.
