I've heard arguments on both sides. I'm in the US some say our name brand pills are better than generic same say they are the same. 

I love all my friends here opinions. Gonna tag a few I can think of off the top of my head.

I guess the bottom line is that if you think the name brand is better than the generic then it will work better for you, mainly because you think that it will. There are a very few drugs that have been proven to be more effective in the name brand, but for the stuff I get prescribed, the name brand is nowhere near worth the increased expense. Of course, I may be cheap. Now in many non-western countries, there are big discrepancies between name brands and generics, and between different makers of generics. Of course, anyone who uses IOP's probably knows this from experience.

 
I've never taken name brand shit except a V one time. But not sure if it was better. I personally think they are the same but some people are adamant and think name brand is better.

 
Watson 540. It was generic but people swore those were better than any other generic Lortabs.

Peepul can be reel illijiterit.

They swear they know something because they think they know something. Maybe they like the light blue color. If the Watson had a hole in the shape of a "W" in it, then it would be as strong as h3r0in. Idiots. Drug companies must really love preying on them.

 
I note no difference aside from full psychological impact. Ex: the k or v-hole thru a couple specific items.  Desirability to others potentially

 
I have heard people mention that Brand works better than generics.  I think with generics the consistency is the issue. For Indian manufacturers Cipla has the best consistency. Aurochem and Centurion are ok but overall Cipla products are better.

 
I see no real differences either. Much of it is psychological in my opinion. Though there can be different fillers and ingredients used, things like that can even differ from generic to generic, but the point is, there should be exactly or near as exactly the same amount of active ingredient as in the original brand. Having sampled various meds from around the world, I'm generally impressed with the quality. 

 
The ONLY med that I've ever noticed a difference with, was the fent patch. There is a HUGE difference between brand and generic. I've gone through w/d's as proof. And when you look up the amount of fent in brand name vs generic, there is a huge difference between the two. As for everything else, and I've been prescribed quite a bit, it's all the same. Now, there are some generics that work better for me than other generics. But that is usually because of a persons 'make up'. What works great for one person may not work well for another. But as far as brand name being better, aside from the fent patch, I have never noticed a difference. I've only noticed differences between generics (generic vs generic).

I agree on the filler issue.   There is a generic of an antidepressant i take that i cannot tolerate, one of the fillers just wrecks my gi system, otherwise the main/active ingredient does what it is supposed to do.

  4. R @ rhodium: hello all thanks for being moved to the apporved section!
  5. P @ Poppycock: @Mammasboi123 thank you, I’m still getting the hang of using this platform. Sometimes when I try to search something it will come back with nothing or tell me what I typed in wasn’t long enough or something
  6. M @ Mammasboi123: Also, keep in mind that if a thread topic doesn’t already exist for a particular mag after searching for it, for a particular msg you’ve got questions on, you can always open a new thread under the appropriate section to get member feedback. I only mention doing it this other way due to there being a rule against members/vendors advertising or soliciting mags via the Shout Box. So I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets removed at some point.
  7. M @ Mammasboi123: @Poppycock, I would encourage you or any other member looking for current options for various mags to first check if an existing thread has already been created on the topic by using the Search bar found on the upper right corner of the site. For example, here’s a recent thread that was posted just a couple months ago that shows up when I type in ‘5APB’ to the search bar: https://drugbuyersguide.info/threads/4-fma-and-6-apb.11276/#post-268359.
