Branded and generic drugs in ophthalmic therapy
Main Article Content
Abstract
Brand-name and generic drugs are commonly used in ophthalmologic practice. They need to meet specific requirements to ensure good therapeutic quality and not cause undesirable effects. Ophthalmology drugs are topical drugs and, therefore, do not lend themselves to certain pharmacokinetic studies and their absorption is affected by many factors. The doctor has to consider a number of aspects before prescribing a particular drug.
