I just recently had a generic substituted (methylphenidate extended release) for Concerta. Initially I was concerned based on the research I did.
Evidently Watson pharmaceuticals has licensed from Johnson & Johnson the exclusive rights to produce an ‘ultra-generic’ that is identical to Concerta. This product was introduced in Aug 2011 in the US. There hasn’t been any negative complaints from patients to date.
I don’t know if the Watson product is sold in Canada.
Over the next few years many of the brand name stimulants will go generic. From a consumer standpoint it is important that people are aware and ask questions.
