Do generic medications have the same effect?

Yes, generic medications often have the same effects as the brand name version because they contain the same active ingredient in equivalent concentrations. However, the other ingredients used to make the medication, such as coloring or fillers, may be different. If you are experiencing side effects or if your condition is not improving, it may be a good idea to consult your doctor or pharmacist to see if a change in medication could help.
