Re: [RC] update on polo horse deaths - Carla RichardsonYes, you're right, compounded products?are not a true?generic product.? But they're usually an attempt to copy or be very close to a name product.? That's why to me, it's similar to a generic product.? I do know that the generics are tested, but I don't think they're 100.000% exactly the same as the original product.
?
In this case, if the team had used Biodyl as they apparently had many times in the past, probably all those horses would be just fine today.? I'm sure that the French manufacturers of Biodyl are feeling slightly better today, although their product has gotten some adverse publicity over all of this.
?
I know the argument that you can save money by buying generic, but I still prefer name brands vs. generics when it's medication, that's just me.? I'm definitely not rolling in money, but I?tend to trust name brands over store brands when it comes to vitamins, medications, that sort of thing.
