Generic vs. name brand

[Joan Pandas Mom]

I know I have read it here, but can't find it. Has anyone noticed a difference in name brand vs. generic Augmentin? I have heard that for a certain % of the population, generic doesn't work. I know in the past for me, generic has caused different side effects than name brand did not. I had to stick to name brand.

Don't know yet, but we should know in the next week or so.

 

When I went to refill DS's Augmentin XR prescription, they gave me the new generic. I am told the time release and the Amox-Clav ratios are identical to the brand-name, so pharmacist says there shouldn't be any difference.

 

Cross fingers he's right. We strat the new script on Tuesday . . . .

DS12 has been on the generic for a couple of weeks and I have not noticed a difference so far. I do hope it turns out to be just as effective.
