Blognosis: can generic drugs' image problem be fixed?

If generic forms of lamotrigine behave indistinguishably from Lamictal, then it's very reasonable to expect that virtually any generic form of any brand name drug used in medicine is also a good mimic if it recently passed FDA muster.

Patients remain dubious about efficacy of generics

This article introduces the classical fixed-effects and random-effects models in MA and uses a meta-analysis about the use of lamotrigine in bipolar disorder [6] as an example to illustrate the step-by-step implementation of MA using R, an open source statistical software package that can be freely accessed from http://www.

In fact, levetiracetam provided seizure control comparable with that of older antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) carbamazepine and valproate but superior when compared with other newer AEDs, including lamotrigine and topiramate.
