As I listened to this podcast on Science Friday about the "sameness" in the generic v. brand name drugs, I could not help but think about our Quick Ache Relief lab and the chemistry references in this podcast. Listen to this podcast http://sciencefriday.com/segment/09/12/2014/the-science-of-sameness-developing-generic-medications.html (13- 15 minutes) or read the related article on this link. Look for the chemistry connections- mass spectroscopy, bio equivalence vs. physical or chemical equivalence. Don't you wonder if it is worth paying the extra dollars for a brand name v. generic medicine? Is it worth it? How do they even measure the equivalence of generic drugs v. brand names. Find the answer to all these questions and see the chemistry connections. Chemistry all around you!
