Terms & Conditions of Program
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.
Amrix is an extended-release muscle relaxant that your doctor may prescribe to alleviate muscle spasms associated with muscle pain. Muscle pain can be debilitating and may limit physical activity and quality of life. Amrix is usually prescribed alongside rest and physical therapy to address the underlying condition.
Amrix works by blocking nerve signals sent to the brain from the pains, which helps reduce muscle spasms and discomfort.
