Our son takes a daily antibiotic for his acne. I’ve noticed a distinct difference between the effectiveness of the branded product and the supposedly equivalent generic item. The drug store has hissy fits when I insist on the branded item, but I suspect the generic is being manufactured in China and is not at full strength. It’s as though he’s taking sugar pills - zero effectiveness. When he switches back, his skin improves in a few days. Very disturbing.

Why oh why would you trust the brand name company?

They only make a bigger profit and have just as many reasons to import the Chinese ingredients as the generic cos.
