Is Generic Medicine Effective Like Those Of Branded Medicines?

I am on norco 10/325for a recent diagnosis of degenerative disc disease. I was asked by pharmacy if I wanted brand or generic. I said generic is fine. Well the generic white norco give me absolutely no relief of pain. I previously had the yellow ones....upon a bit of online research I found others have similar complaints. Have you heard of this? I m in terrible pain do I take them back and ask for brand?

Hello,

Generic drugs sometimes come with poor quality and fake medicinal content. You can opt for the good band after discussing with your physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
