Apparently Phentermine is the generaic for Adipex right? Well, what's the difference as in quality of pill and end result. Is it better to stick with name brand? Does anyone know which is best to go with?

The active ingredients in the brand-name and generic products are the same. Both the brand-name and the generic versions must have the same potency, be available in the same dosage forms (i.e. tablet, liquid, injectable), be demonstrated safe and effective, and be manufactured under government-approved Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Significant differences in any of these areas would mean the generic drug would not be approved by the FDA, and therefore would not be available. Although the inactive ingredients such as fillers and dyes are allowed to be different, these ingredients should not affect the safety or efficacy of a drug in any way. In fact, brand-name as well as generic companies often change these inactive ingredients...with FDA approval, of course.
The 37.5 mg Phentermine is a generic for Adipex-P that is manufactured by Purepac. The only difference between the brand name (Adipex-P, manufactured by Gate Pharma) and the generic is price.
