@aliali I always thought that all generics were the same but apparently that is not true. I take immunosuppressants (post liver transplant) and my doctor has instructed that I should stay with the same generic so it will react the same way. The drug store has it on my record now to fill my Rx with the brand that I have always been on. Maybe you could request which brand you were taking that you were happy with. It says the brand on the fine print on the bottle.

@contentandwell
I didn’t know about Immunosuppressants but switching manufacturers of Anticonvulsants and changing from brand to generic and vs versa is well known for causing breakthrough seizures. In the past makers of generics were allowed to put more or less of the active ingredient which now I believe the FDA has put a stop too. But are still allowed to use whatever inert fillers which can interfere with the bio-availability of the medication.
Best of luck,
