Generic vs name brand?
I have been taking the same medication for four years. The pharmacy I go to, just changed to a new manufacturer and I swear, it isn't working. This isn't something I've built up a tolerance to. It worked right up until I had this prescription filled. Is it possible that this is due to it being generic? Because I thought these drugs were regulated pretty strictly.

By law generics must contain the same active ingredient as the name brand drug. Only the inactive ingredients may be different. For example a name brand vial of drug may contain water and a generic may contain saltwater, same concept would apply to pills. I would suggest either giving your doc or pharmacist a quick call if you feel your
Medication isn't working.
Source(s): I work for a generic pharmaceutical company.
