The success rate for generic drugs is identical to the success rate for the originator products. These products are approved by Health Canada as being equivalent.
When we do our testing, we have to demonstrate on patients that the product is absorbed at the same rate, at the same speed, and that the results are comparable, equivalent. The products have the same medicinal ingredients as the originator products. The only difference is that on some occasions the fillers and the non-medicinal ingredients can be different in the final medication, but there is absolutely strong, good, scientific clinical evidence that the generic products work exactly the same as the brand-name products.
