Generic citalopram: yes or no?

Posted by AMD on January 17, 2005, at 13:54:08

Folks,

I went into the pharmacy yesterday to pick up a refill of Celexa only to find out that Blue Cross has removed it from its formulary now that a generic version is available. The brand version is $180 per refill.

I've heard anecdotal reports that generic versions can be less potent than their brand-name equivalents. Thus I'm a little worried about making the switch. Is this simply another myth, or perhaps some fear-mongering by the pharmaceutical companies? Or are there are the valid studies confirming this? Do I really have any risk of inadvertently lowering my dosage by switching to the generic version?

Thanks,

amd
