    It’s even more exciting in GMO-produced drugs like insulin where there are no generics, just ‘biosimilars’ because they’re not made by the exact same strain of yeast/bacteria. Also then the excipients vary from brand to brand. For some reason some people have almost no effect from one insulin compared to another.
