Do antidepressants differ in quality from one brand name to another?

My point is that I'm starting to take antidepressants that contain sertraline hydrochloride

I live in Egypt and there are two different brand names that contain the same exact formula

But one of them is a lot more expensive than the other, so if i bought the cheaper one does it mean that it will be less effective even though it has the same formula ?
