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.
Xtandi is a prescription medication for prostate cancer treatment that slows the cancer's progress by preventing androgen from connecting with androgen receptors in the prostate cells. The outlook for treatment is improved due to the tumor growing more slowly and the individual may not require a prostatectomy. Enzalutamide is part of the anti-androgen class of drugs and it is most commonly prescribed for men who have insufficient results from hormone therapy or surgical treatments to lower testosterone.
You can by Xtandi with a prescription, and your lowest Xtandi cost will be when you order medication online from Canada Drugs Direct.
