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

Flovent Diskus is an inhaled medication that can be used to treat chronic conditions of the lungs. It is indicated to treat:

  • Asthma
  • Bronchiolitis obliterans
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Eosinophilic esophagitis

Flovent is a corticosteroid, a type of medication that reduces the effects of the immune system. In chronic lung conditions, the immune system is often overaction, and Flovent helps to reduce inflammation and improve breathing.
