In reply to can a generic help where brand-name didn't?, posted by g_g_g_unit on December 21, 2012, at 0:20:36
Adverse reactions are a psssability, if a colour or excipient used in a brand name isnt present ina generic - for example, brand name Valium giving you a rash, but generic Diazepam not giving you a rash.
As for the generic working where the brand didnt, I'd say its extremely unlikely, but anything is possible.
One question I'd ask is what exactly is in the Indian generic, and is it genuian. My mother was a pharmacist and she told me of a case in the 1980's of a chinese herbal remedy for "nerves" which worked wonders for a lot of people - incliding the wife of a university pharmacologist, who couldnt beleive that it worked. She swore so convincingly that it did work that he anylised some of the herbal remedy, which proved to contain a benzodoazepine
