Technically no. Event generics have different excipients and excipients give them a slightly different profile.

I’ve compared them a few times. They rarely differ in more than a couple ingredients. Even so CVS for example sells what as far as I can tell is identical, generic cough syrup in a green or orange box depending if you prefer Delsym or Robitussin.

Ingredients are not identical even if they look the same on a label. Juste like flour, you have hundreds of different qualities of it.

Sure, but barring extensive evidence about the differences between them, how is one supposed to select?
