It's a pity that a good number of DOCTORS don't really know much about Generic Drugs.
All they think is, different pharmaceutical companies, different effectiveness, and even challenge PHARMACISTS as if they have upto 50% knowledge about the pharmacology of drugs

compared to Pharmacists.
Unless the drug is Fake, MOST #GENERICS (& even MOST branded products) are same effectiveness (95-100%).
If a doctor prescribes a #BRANDED PRODUCT & the pharmacy doesn't have it, they simply tell the clients/Patients the best generics available.

So it's for them to source it somewhere else or go back to the doctor.
But if it's a GENERIC PRODUCT, the Pharmacist has the right to change it to another GENERIC, "ONLY if the INITIAL DRUG is not available"
The Pharmacist will educate the Client/Patient about the change.
