Generic Lortab and it's generic will deliver the same medication to you over a given amount of time, however the concentration of the drug in your body at any given instance will be different. This is the basis of something called AB Rating, which is used by the Orange Book to determine which drugs pharmacists can substitute for a given prescription written by a medical provider.

What does this all mean? It means that if you are given Lortab 10, your body will absorb the 10 mg of hydrocodone over a certain time. If you take generic hydrocodone 10mg (with acetaminophen of course) your body will also absorb the same amount of drug. What will be different is the rate at which the drug is absorbed and removed. For example, with the brand name drug, you might have a more steady concentration of drug in your body at any given moment than with the generic. (This is sometimes the case with pain medications.)

Why aren't generic painkillers as good as name brand painkillers?

There is something that many people don't seem to understand: there is no difference whatsoever between generic and brand name medication. Since drug companies cannot withhold information from the consumer on "proprietary" blends in their product, generic companies are able to create the exact same medications. The only difference between generic and brand name products is that you often get twice as much with generics for half the price you would pay for brand names.

In some cases, the generic brand may even produce better results than the brand name. Use online sources and reviews to get information on the brand you're looking at to see what others have thought in the past.


What is the difference between costly rogaine and cheaper generic products?

As far as I can tell, the only difference is the brand name and the price. The active ingredient in Rogain and the generic Walmart brand is the same and the store brand is about 1/2 to 1/3 less in price. I've used the Walmart brand for several years and it works well. It might not work for everyone but if Rogain works, then most likely the generic brand will work also.

brand name medications are the original maker of tthe drug that first patented the drug. once the patent expires other companies are allowed to manufacture the samw drug but can use different "fillers" that may be cheaper so that the drug can be sold at a cheaper price. the main part of the medicine is still the same as the name brand but its just cheaper filler additives example: name brand lortab has hydrocodone and tylenol in it.....the generic would have the same quality hydrocodone but they may use a off brand tylenol or add a different binding agent than the name brand uses
