level, the same dose of the br md nameication they deliver roughly the same blood levels that the brand name medication does. so i have a graphic if you can pull it up. >> let's show >> of all the different versions of a medication. >> what does that do. >> that'seneric lexapro which is a medication used to treat anxiety and depression. >> i com to you and say i want the generic, you say no problem, however there a seven versions of the generic. >> there are more than seven. you couldn't fit them all on t graphic. even though they all say 10 milligra roughly the same, believe it or not from one manufacturer to another there could be up to a 45% difference in the blood levels that are achieved. you could go on one moh, get one of those generics and let's just say you're at the 125 range, you g the next month, it's still a little white pill that says 10 milligrams, you take that, your dose could have changed up to 45% plus there are

nadifferentive ingredients that even though they're not active in terms of how the medicineorks, theyay have an impact on how you respond to the medication as well. >> this isorrisome for a doctor like yourself. >> it bothers me, so what i do is, generics are fine but what on need to do is when you'r a medication and it is a generic and you're responding well to that mecation, you want to make sure you continue to get the medication from that same generic manufacthrer of the 's really the key. >> the pharmacist should be okay with that. i wanthi it from version not that version and they can typically do that for you. >> it depends on the pharmacy. some pharmacy will i says a corporate decision and say i'm not able to decide that if they're not willing to work with you, go some where else. the pharmacist will be able to tell you the name of the manufacturer that provides your medication. make note of that and theny,ou can i still need it from, say, tiva, a popular generic manufacturer. i need the tee va brand.

if say they can't get that, shop around. you never know, there might be that difference for you. >> why do you think doctors and pharmacists aren't just sing this? lack of knowledge. >> lack of knowledge. they never taught us this in med school and they did aurvey and found that 80% of doctors didn't know this. my uncle actually developed ambien and when i switched from ambien brand name to prescribing the a generic these people were needed different doses and i said to my uncle, i said what's the deal, why is this happening? are you aware of what i jus said to you here? i learn this had about ten years ago and now i see this problem all the time in my practice and i'm sure it's hrpening all o with people and they're just not aware and quite frankly their doct s aren'taware. >> this is really good information and implement it. thank you so much for bng here. >> my pleasure. today is, of urse, valentine's day or as some people like to call it, single's
