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

Your doctor may prescribe Bepreve if you have symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis (pink eye). Allergic conjunctivitis can be caused by many different things, with pollen being one of the most common. Symptoms may include itchiness, redness, and tearing.

Bepreve contains an antihistamine medication that works by decreasing the activity of the immune system. Allergic conjunctivitis symptoms happen because of an overactive immune system, and Bepreve helps to reduce this activity.

Ingredients

Interactions

There are no known significant drug-drug interactions with Bepreve.

Separate the application of Bepreve and other eye medications by at least 15 minutes to give each medication time to absorb.

Cautions

If you wear contact lenses, remove the lenses before applying Bepreve. Wait 15 minutes for the medication to absorb before reapplying contact lenses. Bepreve contains benzalkonium chloride, which soft contact lenses can absorb.

Do not touch the tip of the eye dropper to the affected eye. Doing so can introduce bacteria and viruses into the eye dropper, which can lead to an eye infection.

Bepreve is for use in the eyes only.

Do not use for longer or shorter than prescribed by your healthcare provider.
