Adderall (SP?)

[casavant]

round generic 20 mg...

orange, divided into 4 quadrants on the back...

struck "E" then "401" under that...

hell, they probably got the shit
stamped like flintstones vitamins by now...

Fuck- you're right. Last time I got filled up on the 30's, they gave me the generic ones instead of the brand name like I wanted, and I knew that it was wrong because the pills in the bottle were round but split into crosses...I asked if they gave me generic and they said, "Oh, whoops, you requested brand name, didn't you?", and they went back and refilled it with the right shit.

Yep. My bad.

but what is the difference in
the round ones???

i'll ask my brother the pharmacist
but it'll be awhile before his lazy
ass gets back to me...

dont let me forget cas...

Your bro is a pharmacist? I think you've mentioned that before. I'm still considering going into that but good god that's a lot of chemistry.

I've never had the round generic, but it must just be that they're made my different companies than the oval ones and one has a slightly better product. Pharmaceuticals are strictly regulated, but I believe they still get a tiny bit of leeway as far as standards are concerned.

i believe that they are free
to use any "approved" binder
or absorption enhancer...

the rounds may have better
binders or some better kind of absorption
enhancers...

in a run of a million pills, it would
make sense to scrimp on these
as most people will not notice...

but this is just a guess...

i dont see how a generic could
legally differ in its active ingredient
either in chemical composition or
actual amount...

I tried doing a search on that info. but there's an ungodly amount of shit on prescription drug guidlines. But I read somewhere that there is a little leeway but hardly any. I could be mistaken though.

youre right about the leeway, cas...

im too lazy to dig out the books, but i
believe its up to +/-10 %...

that could be it, but i think consistent
underdosing would cause a manfacturer
to have fda problems eventually...

but who knows???

theyre almost as slimy as lawyers...

LOL. And some of the ADD specialists... but it's a good thing we have those around too. I don't know about you, but I like the fact that there are doctors out there who are very familiar with the particular drug they prescribe.
