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 Evamist for the treatment of symptoms associated with menopause. During menopause, estrogen decreases, leading to symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness
Estrogen is essential for many body processes and helps to alleviate the discomforts associated with menopause by replenishing the reduced levels of estrogen in the body. Evamist is administered as a transdermal spray, allowing the hormone to be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream.
