Most people trust name brand Benadryl to help them get rid of their allergy symptoms, but the name brand is very expensive. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration guarantees that approved generic drugs have the same active ingredients as their name brand counterparts, and generic Benadryl has been shown to get rid of allergy symptoms just as well as the name brand. The generic version usually costs at least 50 percent less than the name brand.

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.
