Child Taking Concerta For Focusing And Attention Problems. Difference Between Concerta And Generic Brand?

Yes, my grandson has been taking Concerta for 3 1/2 years now. He is 11 1/2 years old. He basically has focusing and attention problems, but not the hyperactivity . He only takes in Monday through Friday, school days only. He switched to the generic brand last spring as a change in his dad s insurance made Concerta cost $300.00 month out of pocket. I am really wanting to know if there is a known difference in Concerta and the generic brand. Thanks
