Question: what is the difference between name brand lexapro and generic?
Answer: Currently, a generic drug must work at least 80% as well, or 125% better, than its brand-name counterpart. This means if you think of the brand-name drug as 100% (Lexapro is 100% Lexapro, n'est-ce pas?) then a generic can be as low as 80% of the brand-name drug or as supercharged as 125% of the original.
