CTlaywer-“The difference is in the binder ingredients, not the active ingredients of the specific medication.”

-That I know, but aside from the inactive ingredients being different, do they have any unwanted interaction with the active ingedients?

You mention generics having ingredient that have a negative impact on some users. Whos to say that the brand name are better though? Are brand names geared toward all people as opposed to generics? Do all generics substitute ingredients with ones that arent as good? If you look at coca- cola for instance which is unhealthy as it is, a generic brand making the same drink might be less harmful than the actual original one.

So the question is are brand name meds better than generics “in general” or is it that sometimes you just have to weed through certain brands (generic or non) in order to get the right one for you.
