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

Latisse is a topical eye medication that your doctor may prescribe to treat hypotrichosis of the eye. Over time, Latisse increases the growth of eyelashes, causing them to thicken and darken.

Latisse works by mimicking a type of signal molecule called prostaglandins. It causes hair follicles of the eye to grow for longer and also increases the percentage of hair follicles that are in the growth phase.

Directions

Latisse comes with single-use applicators that should be used for applying the medication. Do not use applicators that were not included in the product.

Place one drop of the solution on the applicator and apply evenly along the skin of the upper eyelid near the base of the eyelashes once daily at bedtime. Repeat with the other eye.

  • Latanoprost
  • Latanoprostene Bunod
  • Ophthalmic Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents
