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.
Your doctor may prescribe Bactroban cream to treat bacterial infection of the skin. It can also be used for prophylaxis of ports in people who receive hemodialysis and get regular catheters placed for this purpose.
Bactroban works by stopping infectious bacteria from replicating, thus slowing and stopping the skin infection. Once bacterial growth is slowed, the body can typically manage the infection on its own. Bactroban attaches to isoleucyl transfer-RNA synthetase, a protein important for forming other important proteins.
