There are 2 different types of generic. One is made by the Sandoz company, the other is made by the Mylan company.

I believe that the Sandoz generic is similar to the name brand - it has the gel pouch.... and the Mylan generic does not have the gel pouch, it is completely flat.

The name brand Duragesic, the Sandoz generic and the Mylan generic all contain the same medication (Fentanyl). So all of them are the same medication, they just have a different look/type of patch depending on whether you get the name brand Duragesic or the Sandoz generic or the Mylan generic.
