Generic and Brand name are the same only difference one saves you money. They only want you to believe theirs is better for greedy purposes. That is called the scare tactic they scare you into believing that you might not fully heal if you use generic. Salesman are the same whether its a car or prescriptions.

Not true at all. There are occasionally some specific reasons why a doc will specify the name brand, but generics are always the same strength as the name brand.

NO, if they are FDA Approved and have also been approved for a generic, then the same active ingredients have to be present. The only difference would be pill sizes or packaging. Like you wouldn't be able to get generic Tylenol n a Gelcap, but you can get a white tablet.

Once the patent expires generics come into being. They are the same as the name brands.
