Never let anyone tell you that generics

[Blitty]

Lolz at you forty plussers with your cuckoo pills.

Geriatric generics.

 

[RayRay]

no pills for me... occasionally i drop a xanax or ambien to help sleep and a viagra from time to time... its been a long time since i needed something to help control my thought process...

replacing other stuff with testosterone has been good

 

[Blitty]

Xanax on any flight over 2.5 hours should be common place these days.

Makes more sense to me then taking Advil or Tylenol ever.

 

[RayRay]

yap... or some pain killers do the trick for me too... you been on some long flights the last few years... i dont like em

Lol @ people who think name brands are any different from generics.

Lol @ people who think name brands are any different from generics.

lol @ Boner thinking all generics are same as brand name. Even the FDA doesn't agree.

Aren't they by law?

. Exactly.

There is a reason the generic costs $5.00 and the brand is $1000 for one month supply.

Hmm, that's a different issue altogether. The patent holder is free to charge whatever the fuck they want for as long as in they're in that position of monopolistic power.

Google generic wellbutrin Fda Boner.

So what's this talk about generics needing to be 20% different while the brand-name manufacturer holds the patent? Even my doctor is saying that.

 

[Boner_18]

That's the logic that more $ = better (or even different). Very sound.

 

[IAG]

Google generic wellbutrin FDA Boner. I'm talking about one drug. And it's still messed up.

The FDA considers the generic form of bupropion XL 300 mg (Teva Pharmaceuticals) bioequivalent and therapeutically equivalent to (interchangeable with) Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. Although there are small differences in the pharmacokinetic profiles of these two formulations, they are not outside the established boundaries for equivalence nor are they different from other bupropion products known to be effective. The recurrent nature of MDD offers a scientifically reasonable explanation for the reports of lack of efficacy following a switch to a generic product.* The adverse effects (e.g., headache, GI disorder, fatigue and anxiety) reported following a switch were relatively few in number and typical of adverse drug events reported in drug and placebo groups in most clinical trials (i.e., including, but not specifically for, bupropion). *Although many of these adverse effects are seen soon after drug therapy is initiated, adverse effects are known to occur throughout the course of a patient’s therapy, as well as among patients on a stable dose of medicine or in patients receiving placebo.* FDA continues to closely monitor reports of adverse events and therapeutic inequivalence.


Its the same. Any difference you feel is due to your condition or is fake.
