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

The Histofreezer Portable Cryosurgical System is a convenient and effective treatment method healthcare professionals use to remove benign skin lesions, including warts, skin tags, and actinic keratoses.

This cryosurgical system utilizes a liquid refrigerant to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue. The portable nature of Histofreezer makes it ideal for use in various healthcare settings, from primary care clinics to dermatology offices.

The system is designed for use only by trained healthcare professionals. Misuse can lead to serious harm and damage to the skin.

Directions

First, the healthcare provider selects the appropriate applicator tip based on the lesion size. The applicator is then saturated with the refrigerant by pressing it into the canister.

Once saturated, the applicator is applied directly to the lesion for a specific amount of time, usually ranging from 15 to 40 seconds, depending on the type and size of the lesion.

Mechanism of Action

The freezing action destroys the lesion, which will then gradually fall off over several days to weeks as the skin heals.

Ingredients

The main component of the Histofreezer system is the liquid refrigerant, a proprietary blend of dimethyl ether and propane. This combination allows for rapid freezing of the targeted tissue.

Cautions

While using Histofreezer, the healthcare provider must follow the instructions carefully to avoid over-freezing, which can damage surrounding healthy tissue.

Patients with poor circulation or those who have conditions such as diabetes should use Histofreezer with caution, as they may be more prone to complications from skin treatments.

Healthcare providers should evaluate each patient's individual risks before proceeding with cryosurgery.

This treatment can cause depigmentation in certain patients after treatment and subsequent sun exposure.

Side Effects

The most common side effects of this treatment can include:

  • Painful sensation
  • Pigmentation changes
  • Stinging sensation
