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

Toradol is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for the short-term management of moderate to severe pain. It belongs to the drug class NSAIDs, which work by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins are substances in the body that play a key role in pain and inflammation. Toradol is formulated in both oral and injectable forms and is commonly used in settings such as postoperative pain management, trauma, and as an alternative to opioid analgesics.
