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

Your doctor may prescribe Lamictal XR to treat seizure disorders. These are conditions where brain cells send abnormal electrical signals through the brain, interfering with different functions.

The symptoms of seizure disorders are broad and may include:

  • Loss of consciousness
  • Change in vision
  • Drooling
  • Falling
  • Biting the tongue
  • Sudden rapid eye movement
  • Making unusual noises
  • Sudden mood changes
  • Clenching your teeth

Lamictal XR works by slowing down the erratic electrical impulses to maintain normal brain function.
