5 Generic Products That Are Just As Good

I'd like to offer a big "maybe" on generic drugs. My mom's endocrinologist told her that different thyroid hormone replacement preparations tend to be absorbed differently -> differing bio-availability -> return of symptoms, so she must always check her refill labels to be sure she gets the one she's supposed to be on. I just started a newly available generic equivalent for my antidepressant and I'm not sure it's working as well as the brand name did.

I use some generics and am brand loyal on some things. Other things, I go brand to brand depending on price or sale.

I haven't noticed much difference in non-name cereal. I have bought WalMart frosted shredded wheat and can eat it just as quickly as name brand. :/

I have bad taste buds anyway so I buy almost everything generic. Especially meds since they are usually the exact same thing with different names.
