Generics can fluctuate ingredients 20% in either direction whereas BRAND has to be exactly the same from pill to pill.

I can’t find any info on that. If that is true, that would be very dangerous and people would be getting very sick on generics…any generics. I know that different companies use different fillers. Also, some people just do better on brand. I am glad that you found a solution that works.

An ingredient can not fluctuate 20% according to my pharmacist husband.

FDA-approved generic medicines work in the same way and provide the same clinical benefit and risks as their brand-name counterparts. A generic medicine is required to be the same as a brand-name medicine in dosage, safety, effectiveness, strength, stability, and quality, as well as in the way it is taken. Generic medicines also have the same risks and benefits as their brand-name counterparts.
