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.
ELIQUIS (apixaban) is a medication indicated for the following conditions:
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm where the left atrium of the heart "quivers," rather than pumps blood adequately into the left ventricle of the heart. The irregular "quivering" slows the flow of blood, increasing the risk of clot formation (embolism) within the left atrium.
ELIQUIS medication works by binding to and inhibiting factor Xa (ten A), a critical protein in the natural clotting cascade. Inhibiting factor Xa reduces the formation of clots and decreases the risk of embolism.
