It's well known that red analgesics work best - unlike red bikes which are slow and ridden by ungainly chubbers

I'll have you know that I have a sylph-like figure and it's only age and shonky stamina stops me racing roadies on my red 853 Inbred SS!
Humph. Chubber indeed! (Grumble, mutter...). ?

I don't work in Pharma, but do come from a Science/Chemistry background. Threads like this are what make STW a special place! Well done folks. Since in STW tradition I now need to ruin this thread, I will ask "what carton type for a red placebo NSAID?"

Thank you!

dangerous beans... a slight miswording.

Given that a generic drug needs to only be within 20% of the amount of active ingredient

implied the dosage strength, which has nothing to do with bioavailability, which is the point you were making and one that i alluded to in my first post.

I'm very familiar with lamictal, and the points made by muddy bum are very valid.

As an aside the manufacturer's of neurofen are not reinvesting those profits to support new drug discovery.

factor in that you had to develop 100 other drugs that didnt make it to the market and you need to be very brave get into the pharma industry

Yeah that's why pharmacy seems ruled by a few massive companies, I suspect.

Might use of generics in the USA, where generics barely exist as a proportion of the market, imply cheaper health insurance and therefore possibly greater poverty and might this make a difference somehow, for example ?

I am rapidly forming the opinion that healthcare in the USA is a f'in racket 🙁

It's 'cos they use those cheap, second-hand, poor quality carbon atoms in the supermarket version.

No, for crying out loud, it's a chemical formula.

Did you read the thread? It's a lot more than just that, so it seems 🙂
