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.
Invega ER is a prescription antipsychotic medication that is used treat schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, as well as being prescribed for bipolar disorder and other mental or mood disorders less frequently. The active ingredient in the medication, Paliperidone, works to change the effect of chemicals in the brain to limit hallucinations, delusional thoughts, disordered thinking and other schizophrenia symptoms. It may also be used as an adjunct to other medications, and it is important that patients continue to take Invega exactly as directed in order to see significant improvements.
