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.
Lupron Depot is a prescription medication for endometriosis in women and may also be prescribed to reduce the size of uterine fibroids. In rarer instances, it may also be used as a palliative treatment for advanced prostate cancer in men. Leuprolide Acetate, a GnRH agonist drug, blocks the production of hormones in the body. These hormones are necessary for the growth of cells that contribute to endometriosis or uterine fibroids. For prostate cancer treatment, Lupron Depot inhibits testosterone production.
