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

Prednefrin Forte (phenylephrine hydrochloride, prednisolone acetate) is an eye drop indicated for the treatment of severe non infectious eye pain, swelling, and redness.

The recommended dosage is one to two drops in the affected eye(s) two to four times a day. 

Do not stop using Prednefrin Forte unless your doctor instructs you to do so.

Ingredients

Prednisolone acetate and phenylephrine hydrochloride are the active ingredients in Prendefrin Forte.

Cautions

Prednefrin Forte may mask, enhance, or activate an acute untreated infection due to the corticosteroid contained in Prednefrin Forte.
