Switching from a brand name drug to a generic drug, or from one generic drug to another can cause reactions.

The FDA says that the average variance between the name brand and the generic is 3.5 percent, but, about 50 medications vary by 10 percent or more.

TIP: If you experience any reactions or side effects from a generic version, have your doctor write in the prescription: “DO NOT SUBSTITUTE”.
