Generic Sibutramine
Sibutramine Tablets
Sibutramine tablets are used along with a low-calorie diet
to help people with obesity lose weight and keep it off. Most
people who lose weight on Sibutramine tablets plus diet and
exercise lose it in the first six months of treatment.
Generic Sibutramine
Sibutramine has been presented by Abbott Laboratories under
two different brand names: Meridia®
in the USA, and Reductil®
in Europe. When a pharmaceutical company first markets a drug,
it is usually under a patent that allows only the pharmaceutical
company that developed the drug to sell it. A generic drug
is a drug which is produced and distributed without patent
protection. Like all generics, a generic Sibutramine works
on the same way as the brand name equivalents, but it is much
cheaper. Generic Sibutramine
prices are listed here...
Generic Medication
A generic must contain the same active ingredients as the
original formulation. Generics are assumed to be identical
in dose, strength, route of administration, safety, efficacy,
and intended use. In most cases, generic products are not
available until the patent protections afforded to the original
developer have expired. When generic products become available,
the market competition often leads to substantially lower
prices for both the original brand name product and the generic
forms.
