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.

Ingredients

The active ingredients in the drug are Milbemycin Oxime and Praziquantel.

Milbemycin Oxime affects the permeability of the parasite membrane, causing paralysis and eventual death of the parasite.

Praziquantel increases the permeability of the cell membrane of certain parasites by affecting the influx and efflux of calcium ions. The parasite is then paralyzed and can be killed by the dog's immune system.
