Re: So we have a generic strattera in Canada now (as of the last month or two?)

I’ve been on Strattera for almost 3 years now, the recent release of the Canadian Generics has forced me to have to pay out of pocket for the first time as the doctors are no longer receiving samples.

Observations on Generic Stattera so far:

I’ve found the Canadian Generics by Apotex and Teva work O.K. by my own observations switching back and forth between Lily and other brands the Apotex in particular is noticeably stronger and must contain a different set of inert ingredients as it very reliably causes a weird upset stomach if I take it without food. The Teva Generic seemed not to be significantly different in dose or effect.

I also tried the Indian generics Axepta (By Intas) and Attentrol (by Sun Pharma).

Attentrol which comes in capsules similar to the Canadian products seemed noticeably lower in potency but when I compensated by about +%20 it seemed to be roughly equivalent.

Axepta (By Intas) comes in a “Film Coated Tablet” which is unlike any of the others but I’ve been on it a month now and it seems to be about the same as the Lilly product in terms of potency. This seems to be the brand most of the more reputable online pharmacies seem to stock. Unfortunately I’ve not found any that will ship it directly to Canada so I’ve had to ship it to the states and drive over the boarder to get it.

I don’t want to appear to favor or recommend any particular online pharmacies, and your doctor will not be able to formally recommend you buy these drugs online, however I’ve found the site parmacyreviewer dot com to be very helpful in determining which sites are reputable before dealing with them.

The per pill cost online is roughly 70 cents Canadian per 60mg pill.

The retail per pill cost on the ground in India is closer to 25 cents Canadian.

At least here in Toronto, the Canadian generics cost about the same as the Eli Lilly originals $6-8 per pill.
