Is nearby any difference between Generic and Branded medication from online pharmacies?
The branded seem a lot more expensive, but I can't see why they are for sale because they seem to be to be exactly the same as the generic medications, only next to different packaging and a brand name.

The difference between a brand name medicine and a generic one is contained by the name, shape and in the price. A generic drug is usually called by the entitle of the active ingredient while a manufacturer uses a brand name. However, a factory owner cannot possess a patent for a certain chemical agent, this is why manufacturers of generic medication can legally produce the so-called "generics". They are the same chemically and since the active ingredient is exact, they have the same medical effect. Thus buying a generic medication one pays less but get the very same result.

Where is the generic medication manufactured? If it in not contained by the USA, then it is not necessarily held to/inspected at the same high feature standards we have in the USA when the FDA in inspecting adjectives facilities. Also, some people are ultra sensitive to medications and the generics don't necessarily work alike. Source(s): Former biotech employee
In most cases generics are the same. In some cases they are not. Generics do not own to go through the same testing as the patented variety. They only have to show they have matching prime ingredients and a few other minor factors like purity and dosage (pill size.) Especially if the pharmacy is not in the US or Canada in attendance could be problems. While issues do arise from time to time with American generics - they don't have to be made the same route, can contain other chemical residue, and aren't tested on live subjects prior to release.
For instance, there have been complications near a commonly prescribed anti-depressant and it's generic counterpart (and also it's stop smoking designation.) Wellbutrin to be specific, sold as Zyban as a smoking cessation aide, and bupropion as a generic for both. It happens in a number of drugs, do some research on the specific generic up to that time you get it as a money saver.
And since there's a high chance someone will say I'm wrong and generics are 100% identical... http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/bu…
and
"[Posted 01/27/2009] FDA notified pharmacists and consumers that ETHEX Corporation have expanded two previous 2008 recalls to include over 60 generic drug products recalled to wholesalers, and two generic drug products, Hydromorphone HCl and Metoprolol Succinate, recalled to retailer horizontal." from http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety/2009/…
Those are a few samples... more or less, if it doesn't disable or kill someone, the generic won't be recall. Note that the bupropion was shown to be different and is still an approved generic for Wellbutrin XL.
