Question

Collect information on any three generic medicines

Answer 1

Here are three generic medicines:

1) Alendronate is an oral drug (tablet or liquid) used to treat people with weak bones or osteoporosis. It is also prescribed to people with Paget's disease who have highly thin and weak bones that easily break.

2) Metformin is an oral tablet used to treat people with type 2 diabetes. It should be noted that Metformin only helps in controlling diabetes but it does not remove the diabetes from the person. People with kidney-related diseases are not prescribed with metformin as this will cause complications such as lactic acidosis.

3) Metoprolol is an oral tablet used to treat people with high blood pressure and when combined with other medicines, it can be used to treat heart failure. Remember that metoprolol helps control chest pain and blood pressure but does not remove these ailments in a person.
