A member asked:

Is d-amphetamine salt combo another name for adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) or are they different things?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

FDA approved generic: Generics have 80% to 125% bio equivalent active ingredients of the brand (adderall). Some patients who suffer from adhd respond only to the brand name for the other chemicals/capsule formulation differences. Also, generics work out to be cheaper and cost effective for both the pt and the insurance company, .
