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

Humira is a prescription immunological agent used in the treatment of skin and joint disease. It is usually prescribed by a specialized healthcare provider like a dermatologist or a rheumatologist.

Humira is used to treat the following conditions:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Crohn disease
  • Hidradenitis suppurativa
  • Plaque psoriasis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Uveitis

Humira is a type of medication called a monoclonal antibody. These types of drugs are different than traditional prescription medications. They work like our immune system to attach to certain targets. Humira attaches to TNF-alpha and prevents the activation of certain cells of the immune system.
