I always buy Generic. I don't know which drug you bought, but they are pretty much the same thing as the name brand, typically. The reason generic is sooo much cheaper is because of the reduced cost in packaging and manufacturing. The ingredients are the same.
Generic drugs are the same and will work. The only difference sometimes is the inactive ingredients to make them cheaper to produce. Mostly only a concern in thing such as ointments.
As far as mail order generic, if that is what you are actually talking about as compared to generic bought at Eckerds or Walgreens, it may not even be what you actually ordered. Being a google sponsored link as you mentioned may make it more trustworthy like you implied. Hope this helps......
If its manufactured in India be sure it comes with an Exp date and some sort of chemical/product name on the package. Also be sure its one of those sealed plastic packs with foil on the back.
The risk is really small if any though, most likely if it doesn't have the above its just sugar pills

Yes the active ngredient is always the same and the most important in generics. The inactive ingredients can be different to make them cheaper to produce. In ointments the consistency may not be same when applying but no biggie.
My husband notices the difference mostly in like the generic NyQuil made by Equate at Wal-Mart. He says the Equate just tastes plain nasty but puts up with it for the price difference. The active ingredients are exactly the same though.
