Hello,
FDA generic drugs vs brand-name
Generic medicines work the same as brand-name medicines
This standard applies to all FDA-approved generic medicines. A generic medicine is the same as a brand-name medicine in dosage, safety, effectiveness, strength, stability, and quality, as well as in the way it is taken and should be used.

What may vary are the fillers, inactive ingredients.
I understand your point, in theory there shouldn’t be any difference. The manufacturing processes for the pharmaceutical industry is very strict, but I am sure there are tolerances plus and minus for every metric. I believe some manufacturers are more consistent. Others may always be on the upper limits of those tolerances and some at the lower end. It takes me about a week to notice the difference.
