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

Chemical Name RAMIPRIL (RA-mi-pril)

Altace is a CAPSULE and therefore CANNOT be split.

ALTACE belongs to group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. It is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It is also used to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients at risk for these problems and to improve survival in patients with heart failure after a heart attack.

Directions

It is important to take PREVACID exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Closely follow the directions on your prescription label.

ALTACE can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole.

If patients cannot swallow the tablet, you can open the ALTACE capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a half-cup (4 ounces) of water, apple juice, or applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow without chewing. You may store the mixture for up to 24 hours at room temperature or up to 48 hours in a refrigerator.
