Very good question!? I don't understand why the FDA does not regulate generic meds so they're 100% exact... meaning generic excipients "must" be that of brand? Is it production costs, patent infringement or other?
I would think there's enough data out there to indicate therapeutic decline, at least for psychiatric generic meds.
Maybe somebody can chime in on this for me.Rick
