- Definition "practice in which a pharmacist fills a prescription with a therapeutically equivalent generic drug instead of an originator product" Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: Håkonsen, H., and Toverud, E.-L., 'A review of patient perspectives on generics substitution: what are the challenges for optimal drug use (10.1.2020)', Generics and Biosimilars Initiative Journal, 2012; 1(1): 28-32."
- Comment "Generic drugs are off-patent drugs but not necessarily unbranded drugs; see also branded generics. The generic drug will contain the same active substance as the prescribed drug but in a different form."
