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.
Halaven is a prescription medication used primarily to treat metastatic breast cancer and liposarcoma that has spread to other parts of the body. It is often prescribed for patients who have previously undergone other chemotherapy treatments.
Eribulin belongs to a class of drugs known as microtubule dynamics inhibitors. It stops the growth of cancer cells, ultimately leading to their death.
