@jenniferhunter @sueinmn @merpreb WOW! Great information to have! I have always said, that genetics are not the same! They may be required to contain the same ingredients - but the devil is in the details of those ingredients - and whatever else is floating around with those required ingredients. The fillers used with generic medications made in different factories and countries, can be quite different. Digging deeper in to this issue, is worthwhile I think. There is more than just face value to these generics. (The cover of the book, does not tell the entire story!) They can be dangerous obviously..

It is not just the fillers in generics we need to be concerned about. Supplements are another culprit in adverse reactions, even if you keep buying the same brand, because they are unregulated, their composition can change from time to time.
A different dosage of the same drug, name brand or generic, can contain a different filler or dye - for example, the medication in an extended release capsule versus a tablet, or a pink pill and a white one, or the flavoring in a liquid suspension, or the carrier in an ointment or gel. It is a constant mystery for those with sensitivities and allergies.
