Difference between Inspra and generic?

Question

For several years, my pharmacy, which has always offered me generic drugs, had been supplying me with several, except for INSPRA. I have just moved and my new pharmacy has replaced the medication with a generic. Is it possible that for this medication (a rather rare situation), the original is better than the generic? Also note that my left ventricular ejection rate which was 65% before my 3 bypasses, had dropped to 23% after the surgery (several tests). I was supposed to have a defibrillator installed, except that by prescribing me INSPRA (which is only partially covered when prescribed within 3 months of surgery, if I remember correctly), my ejection rate had risen to 60%, hence my concern about the generic. Thank you Thank you for your response and for taking the time to check the non-medicinal ingredients

Hello sir, As far as 'best' is concerned, whether it is the product made by Upjohn (Inspra) or Mint Pharmaceuticals (Mint-eplerenone), the manufacturers are required to follow the same manufacturing standards set by Health Canada, and they are supposed to be of the same quality I went to check the non-medicinal ingredients, and there are small discrepancies, especially in the dye used by the 2 manufacturers. As long as your pharmacy follows up with you after switching manufacturers and you don't notice any changes, it should be the same as any other medication you take. It was my pleasure, have a good evening! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
