Is there a difference between different generic preperations of drugs?

0

Yes. There can be some differences between the different generic brands. I have heard and read that ther can be up to 20% differences in dosage between the different generic drugs. There can legally be a variation by think 20% in dosage between different generic drugs. If you notice some withdrawal effects from switching brand names you have two choices. Either switch to another brand or make of the drug in question or else treat it as a dose cut and wait for your body to get used to the difference in dose. You could ask your pharmacy if there is an alternative brand name that they stock that you could use or try. If there is a difference in dosage, like less, then you could just treat it as a dose reduction and wait for your body to level out on it. Your doctor and pharmacy would be your best bet to see if they could try you on a different generic brand name if you are experiencing any difficulty switching between brand names of the same drug.
