I know that generic meds means imitation of the brand one, but how do you know which one is which?

Please look at the pic of Paxil/Seroxat in the following link and tell me if it's brand or generic.

I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure if the packaging says the actual brand on it (and not just the generic name), it's brand name. I've never gotten a generic med that says the brand name on the pill or bottle/packaging.

that is the brand

I don't mind the generic. They are the identical medications.

I agree that that is the branded version. Generics don't say the brand name on them. Also looking at the price I would say that they were the brand name.
