> I, too, do not like taking generics. I have the luxury of a good health plan, so prescription prices are not a problem for me. I just read recently about Doctor who said that he would never take generics and to stick with name brand. My sister-in-law, also a physician, says in her experience with patients (she's not a PDoc), that gerectics do not seem to be as effective.
Interesting. So you're saying that the generics are so suspect that some doctors would switch a patient away from a medication that's working well if the branded product became unavailable (a la Luvox and Visken-pindolol)? Is the issue one of lack of potency/efficacy, lack of consistency, or impurity/potential harm?
