What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a replica of a brand-name medication that maintains the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, route of administration, performance, and intended purpose. Prior to the market launch of generics, the respective generic manufacturer is required to demonstrate that its product contains the same active ingredients and achieves equivalent effects within the same timeframe as its brand-name counterpart.
The key distinctions between generics and their branded equivalents are that generics offer significant cost savings and often feature a different appearance (such as shape or color), as trademark regulations preclude them from being identical to the brand-name drug.
Cost efficiency in generics arises because manufacturers do not bear the extensive R&D costs associated with developing a medication. Following the expiration of a brand-name patent, generic firms can produce a duplicate of the original brand and market it at a lower price.
Description
Your healthcare provider may prescribe Levitra for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The onset of ED can stem from various underlying conditions, yet the symptoms typically manifest similarly. Common indications include the inability to achieve or sustain an erection.
Levitra functions by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, facilitating increased blood flow. It is essential to use Levitra in conjunction with sexual stimulation for optimal effectiveness.
Directions
Administer Levitra precisely as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It can be taken either with or without food approximately one hour before engaging in sexual activity.
The initial recommended dosage is 10 mg orally, which may be subsequently adjusted to a maximum of 20 mg or a lower minimum of 5 mg as appropriate.
