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.

Directions

Follow your doctor’s instructions on using Izba eye drops. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any questions or concerns you have about the medication.

  • Before placing Izba eye drops, patients are instructed to take out their contact lenses and leave them out for 15 minutes before reinserting them.
  • Izba eye drops can impact vision. Patients should avoid driving or operating machinery until their vision clears.
  • Izba eye drops may cause a gradual and possible permanent eye color change. In addition, Izba use may cause darkened eyelids. Eyelashes may also grow longer, thicker, and appear more pigmented.
  • Izba eye drops should be used with caution in patients with iritis or uveitis.
  • The use of Izba eye drops may lead to macular edema.
