  1. Our drug store which supply 90 days of medication has substituted
    Glymepiride for Amaryl for my spouse to save on the cost of the
    medication . Will there be any change in effectiveness of the generic
    medicine as compared with brand drug ?

    Possible, but not likely. I use generic when I can.

    A generic drug has to have the same active ingredient(s)
    as the name-brand drug, although the inert ingredients
    may be somewhat different. There is usually some testing
    to see that it works essentially the same, but nowhere
    near the amount of testing of the name-brand drug.
