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.

Pravachol Description

This is a lipid-lowering medication known as a ‘statin’, and is used to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, whilst raising the good cholesterol (HDL) levels in your blood. It may also be prescribed for people with certain risk factors for cardiovascular disease, in which lipid-lowering therapy will be beneficial in reducing their overall risk.
Some people have a genetic predisposition for very high cholesterol levels – this is usually diagnosed in childhood and statin treatment is commenced early.
This is not a cure for high cholesterol, but may help to control it. It is important to use this medicine in combination with healthy eating and an exercise program.
This medication may be prescribed for other medical conditions as determined by your doctor.
