In reply to generic vs. brand name drug, posted by dondon on September 23, 2005, at 20:57:01
> Do generic drugs work as good as the brand name? I take generic paxil and it seems not to be working as good as regular paxil. Are generics less potent ?
Some generics are made by the brand company. Watson gets Buproprion SR that is manufactured by Penn Labs, which is directly linked to GlaxoSmithKline, the makers of Wellbutrin. (A pharmacist confirmed this, as does the info. at the link below). Sometimes you have to follow the trail quite a ways to get back to the brand company.
I believe the info. at the following is accurate:
