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.
Monoferric is an intravenous iron replacement therapy primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia in adult patients. Administered through infusion, Monoferric replenishes iron levels in individuals with insufficient iron stores, a condition called anemia. Monoferric is typically prescribed for people who have tried and failed oral therapy and who have non-hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease.
A unique feature of Monoferric is its ferric derisomaltose complex, designed for efficient iron delivery while minimizing the risk of hypersensitivity reactions. Different types of iron infusions are available, and your doctor will select the one most appropriate for you. Monoferric is typically used after iron replacement treatments have failed.
