There may be a slight difference between the two, but medical professionals generally agree that the difference is so small (usually the inactive ingredients) that in most cases, it is safe to prescribe the generics. On the health website Dr.Weil.com, Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D., states that generic drugs sold in the United States are required by law to have the same quality, strength, purity and stability as brand-name drugs.
