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.

Requip Description

This medicine is used to treat Parkinson’s disease and restless leg syndrome. It contains the active ingredient ropinirole, which is a dopamine agonist. In Parkinson’s disease, the low dopamine levels cause symptoms such as stiffness, shaking and loss of muscle control. Ropinirole stimulates the dopamine receptor to increase the release of dopamine, which can improve these symptoms.
Requip or Ropinirole may be prescribed by your doctor to treat other conditions.
