RA 9502

Cheaper Medicine Act of 2008 The concept of Interchangeability Drug products with same generic names

are interchangeable

Page 8: Generic Dispensing

Factors to consider interchangeability among drug products Manufacturers: Are they CGMP

compliant? Raw materials, machines, processes used,

lighting, packaging Source of medicines

India, US, Europe Prices (dictates perception of quality) Clinical trials – high cost, checks

bioavailability, ADR

Page 9: Generic Dispensing

Pharmaceutical Equivalent Same generic name Same molar amount Same dosage form Same active ingredient Same route of administration

Page 10: Generic Dispensing

Pharmaceutical alternative Same generic name Different dosage form Different chemical form/ salt

Page 11: Generic Dispensing

Therapeutic equivalent Either the drug product is pharmaceutical

equivalent or alternative but of same effect or indication

Having the same effect is checked by: Post marketing surveillance, clinical trials,

same bioavailability Ex: Leading Rifampicin products are not

Bioavailable, causing multiple resistance to TB patient

Page 12: Generic Dispensing

What are interchangeable pharmaceutical products? The products which are therapeutically

equivalent to a comparator
