Q: with fibro Ihave been allergic to generic drugs . Why?
It probably isn't attributable to your fibro. Generics, for all the propaganda that they put out there are NOT equivalent to product name brands. Generics undergo far less quality control than do the product name brands, and as a result you may well receive an adulterated and/or weaker version of the product name pharmaceutical. You get what you pay for; generics are cheaper for a good reason...
