What are Generics? A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, how it is taken, 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 and works the same way in the body in the same amount of time.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is the generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (e.g. different shape or color), as trademark 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 invent a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name drug and sell it at substantial discounts.

Coreg Description

Coreg is a medicine used to control high blood pressure and heart failure. It is also prescribed for people who have had a heart attack to improve their survival.
Coreg contains an active ingredient called carvedilol, which is an alpha- and non selective beta-blocker. This means it binds to alpha and beta receptors in the body and blocks their effects. For people with high blood pressure, this serves to dilate blood vessels and lower resistance, thus lowering blood pressure. In people with heart failure, carvedilol lowers the workload on the heart.
