Yes, the generics, even the no name brand supermarket versions, all work as effectively, and the standard dose for a pill in Australia is 500mgs, so you can check the pack to confirm this. You can use them with confidence, and save yourself money.

Well, we call it acetaminophen on this side of the pond, but the generics, the name brands, all the same thing here - I would have to assume the same is true there.
