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.
Strattera is a prescription medication primarily used for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, adolescents, and adults. Strattera is not a stimulant like other medications commonly used to treat ADHD, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines.
Strattera belongs to a class of drugs known as selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). It works by increasing the levels of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter in the brain associated with attention and impulse control, thereby improving symptoms of ADHD.
People with ADHD have trouble with concentration, memory, and impulse control. Strattera helps to reconfigure the neurotransmitters involved in these processes.
