Generic vs. Name Brand Antibiotics?

[T_Mom]

Help--I need some feedback here.

 

I know that for us the name brand Augmentin seemed to be more effective then generic Augmentin at lower doses.

 

We are now on to Azithromycin and just paid a huge amount for a few name brand...to see if they will move us to improved state over the generic (on 500 right now.)

 

Has anyone seen a difference in generic vs. name brand Azithromax/Azithromycin or when using Amoxicillan?

Thanks--

Hey - we use one specific brand & have insisted on it by name - not sure it matters, but it has worked so well for us that I am very resistant to any change. At one point, the distributor for our local pharm changed the brand, and my head nearly spun around! My pharmacist knew a panic attack when she saw one, and got the right brand back very quickly for us. Now I go in about 7 days before we run out, just in case there is an issue. Anyway, the brand we use is Greenstone - we use the liquid. I get the entire month unmixed, and mix it as needed.

 

Hope the Zith shows great improvement - is it for both your girls?
