Most times, yes: In most cases, a generic preparation will have the same effect as a trade name drug - ex. The generic Lorazepam vs branded ativan (lorazepam). Sometimes, however, the generic may not be as potent as the branded drug; or one might have a side-effect from the generic which wasn't experienced from the branded drug.
