A member asked:
Is the active ingredient of the same-name drug, whether brand or generic, exactly the same thing, even if the amount varies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The generic is simply a cheaper version of the brand name drug. Each version may be available in more than one dose level.
