Generic are just the cheaper version. The name brand, you're only paying for the name. Case in point: Advil = Ibuprofen. Motrin = Ibuprofen.

You are incorrect. They are not always the same exact thing. Ask any pharmaceutical chemist.

Speak to any chemist and they will tell you that generic meds are not necessarily the same composition as the brand name.
Sometimes the effect on the person is negligible, other times the difference is drastic. And it's not always in favor of the brand name either.
The non-active ingredients in pills (the ones not listed) are more important than one might think for certain drugs.
