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.
Sohonos (Palovarotene) is a medication used to manage a rare condition known as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). It is classified as a retinoic acid receptor (gamma) agonist that targets certain cell receptors and reduces the formation of new bone in soft tissues. It's mainly prescribed to those who are eight years and older for females and ten years and older for males with FOP.
Sohonos is taken by mouth and should be used according to a doctor's prescription. The dosage varies based on factors like age and the development of a flare-up. However, the oral capsule is usually taken daily, with the dosage increasing if there are symptoms of a flare-up. The medication should be taken with food at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness.
Sohonos contains the active ingredient Palovarotene. The medication may also include inactive ingredients, such as magnesium stearate, lactose monohydrate, lauryl sulfate, and microcrystalline cellulose, among others.
Sohonos should not be used or taken if any of the following apply:
Sohonos may cause a variety of side effects. The most common Sohonos side effects include redness of the skin, joint pain, dry skin, and itching. Some patients have also reported headaches, dry lips, and dry eyes. Others might notice a loss of hair or thinning, as well as symptoms like nausea and muscle pain.
While most side effects are manageable, Sohonos can also lead to more serious side effects. These side effects may include low bone mineral density or mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood fluctuations, or even suicidal thoughts or actions. In addition, trouble with vision, including night blindness, could occur. If any severe side effects occur, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
