Ativan - Which is a better generic?

So, look up the inert ingredients. There is a tablet discinigrent called Polacrillin Potassium that every manufacturer in the USA now puts in their Ativan-even the brand! I had Ranbaxy years ago and no problem, but then changed to Qualitest and took for years, no problem, they got sold to Par and Par uses their formulation not the Qualitest one that didn't have that in it. I got Watson and took one pill and it hadn't even gone past my throat when I had a reaction like you describe, except really bad, and had to take Benadryl to reverse it. We hunted it down and this IS the issue for many people. They just don't know, and it actually comes from a petrochemical. Teva Canada does not use it. Teva USA does. I have been paying 112.00 a month to have it compounded-can't afford it anymore. Ativan works for me otherwise.

since sandoz was working i would go back to that.

it will help you with any med you take to find out if it has an ab rating, just call the manufacturer to find out the rating of their generic XXXXX. i am not sure if your drugstore has the rating info on the paperwork that the drug comes with, but wouldn't hurt to ask. i have also had some success with googling. best of luck to you, some generics make you ill, some do nothing for you and some work well.
