Question

Generic substitutions or dosage form changes that do not affect therapy's regimen or dosage are not considered prescribing

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

Generic substitutions or dosage form changes that do not impact the therapy's regimen or dosage are true and do not constitute a new act of prescribing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generic substitutions or dosage form changes that do not affect the therapy's regimen or dosage are not considered prescribing. The correct answer to this statement is a) True.

When a medication is switched to a generic form or the dosage form is altered (for example, going from a tablet to a liquid), as long as the active ingredient, dosage, efficacy, and scheduled timing of administration remain consistent with the original prescription, the core therapeutic intent is maintained. This allows for substitutions that are generally recognized as bioequivalent without needing a new prescription.
