Actually, by law generic medications (prescription) have to be the same chemically as the name brand. I have experimented some with over the counter meds, but I've always been able to find an off brand substitute that achieves the same results.
Another exception to my use of name brands:
Alka-Seltzer! The alternatives seem to work nearly as good, but the taste of off brand Seltzer is terrible. Not something I use often, but I prefer to have the name brand on this one. Food Lion's generic is very close and what I usually buy.
