How might a pharmacist choose a suitable generic substitute for a brand name drug?

Based on the Orange Book
According to the highest price
Based on availability in the pharmacy
Based on personal preference

The correct answer is: Based on the Orange Book

A pharmacist may choose a suitable generic substitute for a brand name drug based on the information in the Orange Book, which is a directory of drugs and their generic equivalents. Option B, according to the highest price, is not a recommended method for selecting a generic substitute as it may not necessarily reflect the effectiveness or quality of the drug. Option C, based on availability in the pharmacy, may not always provide the best substitute and may limit the options available to the pharmacist. Option D, based on personal preference, is not a valid factor as it does not consider the patient's specific needs and may not lead to the most appropriate substitution. Therefore, the best approach is to refer to the Orange Book for accurate and reliable information on generic substitutes.
