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

Ludiomil is a prescription medication used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), dysthymic disorder, and anxiety associated with depression. It belongs to a class of drugs known as tetracyclic antidepressants, which affect the levels of certain brain chemicals responsible for mood regulation.

Ludiomil works by increasing the amount of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood and emotions. By enhancing norepinephrine's activity, Ludiomil helps alleviate depressive symptoms and improve overall well-being.
