quote: The preparation has to be the same but there are differences in the way the drug is delivered. SR (Slow Release) LA (Long Acting) and MR (Modified Release) brand names are not the all the same, they release medication at different rates. If you prescribe a generic in this country the pharmacist can issue the generic or may substitute any of the brand names. In order to ensure that the same drug is issued every time the doctor has to specify the trade name, the pharmacist MUST issue this drug and not a generic equivalent. Similarly HRT patches differ in the relate of release. Other than a few exceptions the generics are cheaper than and just as effective as the branded drugs.

with food and drink, brands and with clothes, it depends how they look and feel.

quote: Hey, Epona, weird co-oincidence! I have a pair of Nike trainers that I bought for £5 second hand off someone in Brighton who was selling off all their stuff they didn't want anymore. Didn't realise they were Nike until a friend said, hey, you're wearing brand trainers... I don't take medicine. Never ever get sick! Partly due to great genes, backed up by the fact I eat organic vegan, washed down with copious amounts of heavy duty filtered water...... (We can buy it in our local health food shop really cheap. Who needs mineral water...? Brighton's so great!!)

Well, I might as well weigh in here, too [img]smile.gif[/img]
I read the labels on OTC meds--if they're the same ingreds, then I get generic. Of course this isn't very often as I'm an herbalist and buy few chemical meds. ::shrugs:: (Not a rabid tree-hugger, just herbs work better with fewer side effects) As for jeans, I have an hourglass figure and most women these days, it seems, are built more like boys--straight, no waist, no hips. So I buy any brand that nips in at the waist but still lets my hips have their space! Shoes? Leather of whatever brand is affordable and decent that fits properly. As for everything else, I don't really care. If I can get a comparrable product locally by local craftspeople, then I do. I'll even pay a little more. But I'm by no means a slave to brands. Oh, a few things like Van Camps pork and beans and Pepsi not Coke. Hubby has to have his Folgers. ::shrugs:: We're pretty simple folk, I guess [img]smile.gif[/img]
