In reply to Cam, question about my clonazepam?, posted by Greg on December 7, 2001, at 9:10:00
Gregory - What you are noticing is the result of a company using cheaper binders and excipients (fillers). I saw this mainly when generics were first introduced, but I still do see it to some extent, with certain medications (eg. Novo-Spiroton; generic Aldactone - spironolactone, a diuretic). We don't have the Teva brand up here, so I can't comment on them. With the larger generic companies &/or "ultrageneric" companies, you don't see these problems as much (except with drugs like the Novo-Spiroton).
I would mention this to the pharmacist. Eventually all of the generic companies will collude and charge the same price (eg. when you guys are forced to develop a formulary), therefore your imput will help the store to decide which brand to use (actually they will realize this themselves).
I hope that this is what you need. - Cam
