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.
Trintellix is a medication primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. It belongs to the class of drugs known as serotonin modulators and stimulators (SMS), which work by enhancing the activity of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation.
Unlike some antidepressants that primarily inhibit serotonin reuptake, Trintellix works via multiple mechanisms of action, including serotonin reuptake inhibition, receptor activity modulation, and neurotransmitter release enhancement, which may contribute to its efficacy in treating depression.
