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.
Florinef is a prescription adrenal gland disease medication that addresses low glucocorticoid levels and re-establishes salt and water balances as well as normalizing blood pressure. Fludrocortisone can be a treatment for Addison's disease too as well as for adrenocortical insufficiency, and this medication also helps with better breaking down of carbohydrates in your diet. Florinef uses also include for hypothyroidism as this medication works very well to bring up blood pressure levels when needed.
You can buy Florinef with a doctor's prescription, and your best price on it will be when you order medication online from Canada Drugs Direct.
