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

Creon is a prescription digestive enzyme medication used to treat chronic pancreatitis and improve digestive function for patients. This is common when patients have chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, following a pancreatectomy, or gastrointestinal bypass surgery. It improves the small intestine's ability to break down and digest fats, starch, and proteins in food so that nutritional intake and better gut function occurs for people with these conditions.

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