Hi nobody,

❝ ❝ Sometimes a patient starts with a generic (prescribed by a general practitioner) and when hospitalized is switched to the originator. Common practice.


Really? Which hospital, country?


Yes. Regularly in Austrian university hospitals. Maybe cause these super-bright professors (aka “key opinion leaders”) are invited with their spouses to “conferences” in Monte-Carlo or the Bahamas? Or do originators give more huge discounts than the Generikahütten? Quite often I discover that physicians only know the brand-name (and not the API). The equation is diclofenac = Voltaren.

❝ This rule (don't care too much for a total loser in the REF group) was invented to make life easier to generics (don't f*ck up your BE-study because REF had a kind of hick-up). Would not use this against authorities. MY opinion... ;-)


Well, I don’t like the double (moral?) standards behind.

but some animals are more equal than others.
