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

Twynsta is a prescription medication designed to effectively manage high blood pressure. Combining telmisartan and amlodipine as its active components, Twynsta offers a more convenient option for those needing to take multiple medications.

The combination of telmisartan and amlodipine in Twynsta targets high blood pressure through distinct mechanisms. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, relaxes blood vessels, enhancing blood flow. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, further contributes by easing the heart's workload and dilating blood vessels.

Directions

Take Twynsta once or twice daily as directed by your healthcare provider.

The active ingredients are amlodipine and telmisartan.
