My Buproprion SR carries the Watson brand name. The bottle states: Manufactured by Penn Labs, Inc..
Penn Labs is/was a "wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Kline Beecham".
Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) makes Wellbutrin. In 2000, Glaxo Wellcome and Smith Kline Beecham merged, forming GSK.
Might my generic be the real thing?

Had a generic parnate by them,appearently gsk made a merge with them as far dispesning their meds in europe,from reading i was able to be assurd it was legit,however the backup parnate that was generic seemed weird,it was fine for an emergency,but had that been my first and only use of it id never stayed on it as long as i have,its just....different.Good luck

Greenstone makes a generic version of xanax and the pharmacists tell me it's the same as the real xanax. Fondly, Phillipa

I've heard that some of the brand med pharms. also make the generic under another brand. Is that what your pharmacist meant?

That's what I thought. Wouldn't it be nice to know all the "brand generics"?
