What I would be very interested in hearing is the difference between the "generic" medicines and "brand" medicines. In the late 1990's I owned a Golden Retriever and a swimming pool. He was the always in the pool. He, consequently, had ear infections. Panalog was my go to medicine. One day his vet told me that they longer carried Panalog, they carried a generic which was less costly. I tried it. However, this generic never cured my dog's ear infection, not even once, not even close. So, had to special order Panalog.
It is 2025 and my son has the same problem with his Golden Retriever sans the pool, but, nevertheless, the occasional ear infection. Today, they have two different "generics" one must buy in order to, hopefully, get a positive result. At times, yes, there is a positive result, and many times there is not. What occurs, is another vet visit, another prescription with the hope that a little more will have the wanted results.
Now, let us go to human generics. It is the same story. Yes, they cost less, and, yes, they are not very effective. I had an interesting encounter with an owner of generic medication manufacturing factory. We were invited to his mansion to celebrate the sale of one-quarter of his generic factory in Canada, profiting him $126,000,000 ($126 Million) dollars. He still owned a couple of factories in India and three-fourth of the Canadian company.
Having a chance to sit with him, I asked him how do generics really work and why is there such a difference from, what I found in my experience, a generic and the brand. He explained it this way. The brand has a central ingredient and that is surrounded by auxiliary or ingredients in alliance with the central ingredient. The generic uses roughly three-fourths of the central ingredient and then surrounds that with mere fillers. So, yes, there is a great difference.
The generic are made for profit as the brands are and both are lucrative manufacturing items. He then told me something even more interesting, he said, "I tell my family members and friends, always buy the brand, If you can't afford it, then cut it in half as the half is better than the whole of the generic.
