Though the exclusive use of approved names would simplify dispensing by a retail pharmacist, present standards of equivalence are not adequate to ensure that in these circumstances the patient would always receive the preparation best suited to his need. In the present situation, the decision about brands cannot be left to the retail pharmacist and doctors should therefore identify a particular product in their prescriptions by using the trade name.
虽然仅使用通用名会简化零售药剂师的配药工作,但目前的等效性标准不足以确保在这些情况下患者总能得到最适合其需求的制剂。在当前情况下,关于品牌的决定权不能交给零售药剂师,因此医生应在处方中使用商品名来指定特定产品。
