Although rare, there are two modern-day version of Laudanum:
1- Tincture of Opium, and
2- Camphorated Tincture of Opium.
I believe that #1 is about 10 times stronger than #2, so it would be important not to confuse the two when it was time to dose.
what is gerenic name for laudanum
"Laudanum" is the 19th century name for what is called today "Tincture of Opium", a solution of 10% opium, used primarily as a heavy-duty cough suppressant. Thought rarely prescribed any more, it is still made and occasionally prescribed by doctors.
A generic drug is bioequivalent to a drug that has a brand name, also called an innovator drug. It will have a different name and will look different from its innovator counterpart, but the active ingredients will be the same.
Yes, it is sold as tincture of opium. It is a class 2 controlled substance approved for treatment of pain and diarrhea. It is very unlikely that a doctor will prescribe it though as so many newer alternatives exist.
No, they are the same drug. Both of them are hydrocodone, so you are taking the same drug, just a different name.
I googled it and it still has the same name.
There are tons of new drugs out today. Everyday there is a new drug that comes out.
Benzodiazepines are a psychoactive drug and have many different names.
The name for a female hero is Heroine. Though it can be confused with the drug Heroin. I assure you they are completely different things.
Cozzar is the branded version of Losartan. i.e "losartan" is the drug name, "Cozzar" is the brand name.
No, Xanax is the trade name for a drug called Alprazolam. The drug Lorazepam has a trade name of Ativan. Both are benzodiazapens that work in a similar way, however they are different drugs. The dosing is quite a bit different on these two drugs as well. Sorry about the spelling errors, as that has never been my strong point.
brand name medications are the original maker of tthe drug that first patented the drug. once the patent expires other companies are allowed to manufacture the samw drug but can use different "fillers" that may be cheaper so that the drug can be sold at a cheaper price. the main part of the medicine is still the same as the name brand but its just cheaper filler additives example: name brand lortab has hydrocodone and tylenol in it.....the generic would have the same quality hydrocodone but they may use a off brand tylenol or add a different binding agent than the name brand uses
