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

Ninlaro is a prescription medication indicated for the treatment of multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer affecting plasma cells. This condition involves the abnormal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow, leading to various symptoms and complications. Ninlaro is prescribed in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone.

Ninlaro is a proteasome inhibitor that disrupts the growth and survival of myeloma cells. By inhibiting the proteasome, a cellular structure essential for protein breakdown, Ninlaro destroys plasma cells that have become cancerous and are replicating too aggressively.
