Hi, in Canada, and gov't has decided to go to non brand name for those who have help paying for drugs (Seniors mainly). I remember many many years ago a Pharmacist told me that if you have been taking the brand name drugs/meds and switch to generic you WILL notice a difference; but if only ever had a generic prescription would not notice. I also read that even if the actual "drug" in the pill is identical, the generic, or even another brand, will use different things to colour the pill, or fillers they use can be different. We had one brand of anti-diarrhea meds, switched to another branch (both no-name) and I went on Internet and checked the "actual" ingredients, and they were quite different. I wonder sometimes when a pill gives us a reaction, its not the actual medical ingredient but the dyes, fillers, etc? I told pharmacist I want brand name even if I have to pay the difference myself but they keep sending generic ??? Cheaper is not always better or even the same IMO
