Misc Name Brand Vs. Generic

so if theres little to no difference between the two..then why does there seem to be a difference in potency the blue watson tabs seem way stronger than any of the generic white M ones...with the old oxy i understood why they were different cuz the name brand ones didn gell up what so ever..just kinda curious do yall think its a placebo effect..?

This has been discussed through and through. Run a quick BL search.

All generics contain the same quantity of active ingredient. Binders and fillers vary, accounting for subjective differences.

There may be the same quantity of active ingredients, but maybe its the quality that makes a difference. Like you said about the binders and such, the inactive ingredients could make a little difference.

At least in the First World (US, UK, Europe, Australia, Canada) generic pharmaceuticals are legally required to deliver the same drugs within a tolerance (usually no more than 10% in a worst case scenario... more often something like 1 per cent). This is enforced by random testing and license revocation. Generic drugs are designed to be a direct replacement of brand-names - they do not have "less" or "lower quality" ingredients, nor do they have inactive fillers that greatly modify drug activity... a large percentage of people complaining about their switch to generic medications is a simple nocebo effect. That, or they're buying pills off the street - pharmacies don't dispense "fake" generics that "look like the real thing" unless you're buying across the boder in Mexico... but I digress.

If you read the rules, we don't discuss generic pills vs Brand names here.
