What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.
Alinia Helps Treat the Following Conditions:
Diarrhea Caused by Parasite Infections
Parasites such as Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia are a common source of stomach infections. People can become exposed when consuming water or food that has been contaminated by fecal matter contaminated by parasites. The parasites attack the intestinal tract, often causing diarrhea.
In healthy individuals, these problems typically resolve after several days, although medications can speed up recovery. People with suppressed immune function are likely to experience more serious symptoms.
