In reply to Anyone heard of /tried nuzac?, posted by slinky on August 8, 2003, at 7:54:42
Yes, it's just the same drug as Prozac - effectively a generic version made by an Indian pharm company. Inactive ingredients might be different but the important part is the same.
India's intellectual property laws don't protect drug patents in the same way as in most other countries - this legislation was originally designed to make drugs more widely available and affordable, and has worked! Unfortunately these laws only last for a few more years (2005?) at which point some international treaty or other takes effect.
