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

Diflorasone cream may be prescribed by your healthcare provider for the treatment of certain skin conditions. It is primarily used to treat corticosteroid-responsive dermatosis. 

Dermatoses are a group of skin conditions that can last anywhere from days to months to years. People with dermatosis have lesions and eruptions of the skin, but there is no inflammation. Examples can include rashes, macules, lesions, nodules, plaques, and pustules.

Diflorasone is a topical corticosteroid. It works by reducing the activity of the immune system to reduce inflammation and itching and to lower blood flow to the area. Treatment with diflorasone helps to reduce the dermatoses and return the skin to a normal condition.
