Generic Razadyne (Cont.)

Is Galantamine the Same as Generic Razadyne?

No -- galantamine hydrobromide is the active ingredient in Razadyne but is not a generic version of it. What can be confusing is that, oftentimes, the active ingredient of any drug is referred to as the "generic name." The generic name is different from a generic version of a medicine. In order for there to be a generic version of a medicine, the original medicine must have gone off patent and another company besides the original manufacturer must make the product. All medications have generic names; not all medications have generic versions available.
