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

Pazeo is a topical antihistamine that can be prescribed for the treatment of allergic reactions of the eye. It is useful for the treatment of redness and itching.

Pazeo works because it is an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine, which is a chemical messenger that triggers allergic reactions.

If you have to use Pazeo more frequently than for a few days at a time, please see your doctor to other reasons for redness and itching.
