How do generics differ from their equivalent brand-name drugs?

Inactive ingredients can give a drug its color and size. Also, generic drugs have a different shape from its brand-lowering medication manufactured by name equivalent. These differences affect how the drug looks and do not affect the effectiveness of the drug. However, a small number of people may react to these inactive ingredients. Be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist about any possible side effects that you may experience.
