Hi,
The generic forms of medications can produce different reactions compared to the original due to different manufacturing techniques and different inactive ingredients. If you find that you continue to have problems with this brand then you may want to consider speaking to your pharmacist or doctor. They can either switch you to an alternative generic or back to the original. You may react differently with an alternative generic.
I hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
