Aside from being less expensive, how do generic drugs differ from brand-name drugs?


Although generic drugs have the same active ingredients as brand-name prescriptions, their fillers and binders, which can affect the absorption of a drug, may be different. For some serious illnesses, the generics may not be as effective; some experts recommend sticking with brand names for heart medications, psychiatric drugs, and anticonvulsant drugs (for epilepsy and other seizure disorders).
