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.
Ceraven CK Antiseptic Shampoo is a medicated formula designed to treat skin infections in dogs, cats, and horses. It contains a combination of Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Ketoconazole, which work synergistically to cleanse and protect against bacterial and fungal infections. Chlorhexidine Gluconate acts as a powerful cleanser with antimicrobial properties, while ketoconazole is effective against a variety of fungi. In addition, the shampoo formulation includes phytosphingosine-salicyloyl, a lipid that helps restore the skin barrier and has anti-inflammatory benefits.
