Sure, for things like aspirin. Think twice about complex, bio-manufactured pharms.
People say "the active ingredients are the same." Would you apply that argument to other things you stick in your body? Drink a pint of Guinness pulled in a pub, or suck the moisture out of a hobo's beard? The active ingredients are same.

Just my two cents from a guy who is close enough to the industry to be paranoid.
