Im going to take a hail mary shot of a guess to what pickles is referring to, Okay here goes.
Shire Pharms introduced Brand name Adderall to the world, along with the XR version later on, and yet another version with same composition called Mydais which is a slight variation of the XR version with a different bead form release mechanism. The addy IR version went generic first because it was introduced earlier but they kept producing the name brand along with the generic versions from other companies. That recently changed within the last few years, they sold the Brand rights to Teva Generics, now they produce both the brand and a generic. The good news is there is very little difference in my humble opinion between Shires original brand, Teva's acquired Brand and their generic line. The reason its still a top notch brand and generic from Teva is simple, they are the largest generic producer in the world, and they make very very good products, especially in this area. There is virtually no difference in my opinion, very well made products by a great company. So now if you look up brand name, you will find it under Teva which also recently merged or acquired actavis generics. Why do they confuse us like this???? Geez. Rest assured if you get brand now, you are getting identical quality from both their brand and generic of the IR form from Teva. Now thats not the case with the XR, Shire still holds the Brand rights to the XR version along with the nearly identical Mydais. But other companies can make generic XR now for addie, but not Mydais. Mydais is still new and under patent. along with their other new blockbuster product Vyvanse which is Brand only until patent expires. By the way Vyvanse has only one of the ingredients that the others have but dont think for one second its in anyway inferior. I think its more effective, last longer and much smoother than any other ADHD option available today. Its truly a marvel of a product, because its a new type of drug called a pro-drug. Which means its not an active compound until your body starts to metabolize it. Now this is where it gets brilliant, they attached a common amino acid called Lysine that our bodies naturally digest very commonly to it, and when it metabolizes the lysine it unlocks and activates the main compound in your stomach, and it begins to work. Because of this design its more abuse deterrent and has a smoother release.
Did i mention that is a brilliant idea? It won a alot of awards in the scientific community and now the same concept is being applied to other drugs like hydro etc. Guys im not a pharmacist, doctor or any other healthcare professional, I just enjoy reading about new developments like this, It truly is fascinating to me. I work in telecommunications, but have always been fascinated by these things. There are some smart people out there, wish I was one of them. LOL
