Subject: Generic drugs that don’t work well
Mark,
My understanding is that by law, generics can work 20% less well or better than the brand name drugs that they are substitutes for. May I suggest that you ask for the name of the company that makes the generic you take, then ask your pharmacist to get your generic from a different supplier? If they cannot or will not, find another pharmacy that does not use the company whose product isn’t working for you.
