Hi L
>What about if the active ingredient must have a particular configuration, for instance an enantiomer? I guess lexapro and celexa are the same molecules, but lexapro is only one enantiomer, whereas celexa is a blend of both.
The generic will be produced to match the brand. Like Celexa, generic citalopram is a racemate. When generic escitalopram is eventually introduced, it will be a single enantiomer, like Lexapro.
