Generic Drugs

Medications are listed both by brand name and generic. Brand (trade) names are listed in bold text and generic (chemical) names are listed in italics. We determine the classification of a prescription drug product as a generic based on commercially available data resources. When generic substitution conflicts with state regulations or restrictions, the pharmacist must obtain approval from the prescribing physician to substitute the generic equivalent. Physicians who think that a brand name drug is required when an approved generic version is available should contact the Pharmacy Prior Notification Service (1-800-305-0023) to provide the clinical information that supports the request.
