In reply to NTY article on generics--mentions welbutrin, posted by floatingbridge on December 21, 2009, at 0:49:10
Thanks for the article. I always knew about the bioequivalent requirement for generics, but 80 to 125% ???? Then the guy from the FDA says most generics fall into the 3-5% range. Well, why not change the law so it has to be 95-105% ??
I'll be staying on brand Lamictal for now. I don't have insurance and the generic isn't that much cheaper anyway. In fact, when my pharmacy first gave me the generic when it came out (without telling me, had to go back and exchange it) it costed a little more than brand!
