excipient by definition is inert. So, different excipient is good or bad?

Excipients have no therapeutic value, they are added just to give texture, color, taste, etc etc

Medicine is composed of two component API(drug) and excipient

So the main difference with generic medicine is composed with same api but with different excipient

I have self tested on generic medicines  and found no ill effects.

Buy if you genetically believes that generic medicines are inferior or affected with

Neophobia ,well ,better to avoid it as it has a lot to do with psychology.

I would rather say , that they are more safer than other non generic drugs as there is a risk of adulteration or unethical practices from a few companies running for sole profit. In our family we have consumed mostly generic drugs even tho the doctor insisted on branded ones and believe it or not found them more effective than the counter part especially for skin related treatment

So, looks like Generic medicines can be used. However any alternate trusted sources other than ZeeLab?
