The generic version has to have all the qualities and attributes of the original or it cannot be substituted for the original...
otherwise it would not do the job for which it is intended and would put the patient being given the med further at risk...
for instance, I am taking it primarily to control epilepsy, and if there were even minor deviations in the makeup and effects of the generic medication, then it would not be a definite control for the epilepsy and there would be no guarantee that it would control the epileptic seizures, putting me further at risk...speaking of which ( drum roll, please) it has been several days since the last seizure and I am ecstatic... absolutely over the moon, as they say...
actually I begin to believe that this monster can be controlled as long as no one plays games with diagnostic tests to learn more about the version of the monster I have...
to have it genuinely controlled... to be seizure-free because the meds control it...
a caged beast that no longer haunts my nights let alone my days...truly a dream come true it would be...
