To effectively answer this, picture the cereal aisle at Walmart. On the top shelf, you've got the name brand stuff. Rice Krispies, Apple Jacks, Count Chocula, Cocoa Puffs, and they're fairly expensive.
Two shelves down, you have the exact same cereals, usually made in the exact same packaging plant, but different names and much cheaper. Rice Crisps, Apple Os, Choco Flakes, Chocolate Puff Balls.
The generic prescriptions are the exact same drug as the name brand prescriptions, but they're much cheaper. Yes, sometimes the amounts of non-active ingredients do vary from the name brand but that has little to no impact on the effectiveness of the drug itself.
