Is there a difference in strength of generics?
I just picked up my RX … ( U37 )…from my pharmacy and it was a generic I had never seen before. My RX is for Tylenol #4, but i had never even seen one without a 4 on it.
even looking it up here, on Drugs.com, it had not photo of it. It is there and the info is the same, I was curious as if there's a difference in generics themselves, their effectiveness?
I know it has to have the same formula in the Tylenol and codeine but it is the make up different? And are generic REALLY as is effective as the brand name?
I know this question sounds confusing. In the drug index it came up the very last one (U37) the only one without the 4!
I know this probably sounds stupid I don't know why it bothers me but my medication is really important to me I stay in chronic pain and I get a limited amount as everyone knows so I want to make sure that I get the most effective.
Thanks for any help I can get thanks

These pills (U37) do NOT work! I suffer extreme headache's daily. I've always taken Tylenol #4 that has the number 4 on the pill. My last prescription I picked up are the U37's and I am extremely unhappy. I've had worse chronic pain and several extreme migraines.
I will find a pharmacy that doesn't carry these on my next refill!
Have you tried it? What do you think? I too usually receive the medication with the 4 on it and recently received this one. I feel it's not quite as effective but I'm not sure if that's truly the case or if I'm imagining it.
