This is to support your finding of the equivalence of the generic form in the
case of Sinemet.  A company in Israel makes a generic form of Sinemet. They
are under license   from Merckand sell Merck's product in their market areas.
A batch of say 25/100is divided  so that each part goes through its own
tabletting machine.Merck customers get the familiar oval shaped pill and the
generic get a round pill.  Save for the shape they are identical

As a general explanation for the lower price for the generic form consider
that that form does not bear any of the cost of development of the original
product.

Cheers.
