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.
Neptazane is a medication prescribed to treat glaucoma, which is characterized by increased pressure within the eye that can lead to vision loss. Glaucoma is a long-term progressive disease that usually affects older adults. Symptoms include eye pain, headaches, rainbow-colored halos, low vision, nausea, and vomiting.
Methazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, which decreases the production of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye), thereby lowering intraocular pressure. This medication is also occasionally used to treat certain other medical conditions, such as altitude sickness and specific types of seizures.
