I try to avoid generic brand pharmaceuticals as I do not believe they are the same nor have the effects of the intended brand name. The basic "drug" may be there but the fillers may be different thus altering the Brand drug itself.......so there is a difference.
@kndaustin71 You are exactly correct which is why my neurogist and I routinely have to respond to unreasonable mountains of paperwork for my insurance company to pay for Brand name medications. I take Zolpidem for many years and now I'm only getting 6 hours of sleep, if I'm lucky.
I’m asking if anyone has actually experienced the difference, not what the press says. Generic drugs are always hyped as being exact copies of their brands but it often just ain’t so.
@zilla the fillers are different and I can promise you that the pink rectangle version is virtually useless. The NDC# is 13668-0008-05. I think that an NIH website called The Daily Med will give you the various brands to choose from. I agree that the % content of the primary ingredient must vary from generic to generic. TEVA works, something that looks like Aurobind (written over by pharmacist) also works.

Well yes, that is a given. What I was asking was if it was better, i.e. more effective.
