@medpharmaguy #A2 In my opinion, improvements would include awareness to the public because not everyone is aware of this law. Incorporation into our education would helpful in each of us individual with regards to our choices and use of drugs. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[Avvie Coronel @avviecoronel]

@medpharmaguy #A2 Doctors shouldn't be biased in giving the generics but they also must know what is best for the patient without compromising the patient's health. Also, generics must be improved for better quality and not settle for the greater quantity. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[Francis Cervantes @FrancisVienC]

@medpharmaguy #A2 the law should be strictly implemented for it to be effective. All generics should be free for the public to encourage patient patronage of generics over branded meds. RA 6675 needs ammendment to increase the penalty to factor in inflation #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[Jorel How @christianohow]

@medpharmaguy #A2 Lack of legibility and clarity of the prescription are the most common problems in generic prescribing. Some drugs in the market have similar names and spelling which can be confusing to some patients especially the elderly. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[SBCMPharmaStud @SbcmStud]

@medpharmaguy #A2 I think, we must not just become a doctor, but also as an educator for our patients, in order to provide them the different choices in their medical treatment. This is perfectly done by setting aside our own bias for prescribing “branded” drugs as our treatment of choice.

[Aly 🐱 @alyonetwothree]

@medpharmaguy #A2 We should actively participate in correcting misconceptions about generic vs. branded drugs. By properly educating the patients, the doctor-patient partnership in choosing a pharmacologically and economically-favorable medication is strengthened. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[PharmaAccount @AccountPharma]

@medpharmaguy #A2 I think we could try to shift to a electronic system in prescribing and recording so that we may prevent and reduce errors and provide a streamlined and real-time service to both health professionals and patients to many parts of the country #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[Marcha @marchaaaaaaaaaa]

@medpharmaguy #A2 Public awareness on drug potency should readily be handed by physicians in various media to preempt misuse and educate on what every drug prescription entails #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[Kristel Abeleda @AbeledaKristel]

@medpharmaguy #A2 Both patients and pharmacist should be able to understand what is written on the prescription so I think doctors should write their prescriptions legibly. It would be better if doctors can also create a time schedule in taking the meds. #RxWriting #SBCMPharma1

[Guia Fernandez @docguiabee]

@medpharmaguy #A2 (2/2) They should also emphasize instructions for taking these medicines and instruct when substitutions for branded medicine should not be used. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[Guia Fernandez @docguiabee]

@medpharmaguy #A2 (1/2) Doctors should allay the confusion & anxiety of patients regarding the safety and effectivity of generic medicines to ensure patient adherence to medication. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[Avvie Coronel @avviecoronel]

@medpharmaguy #A1 The generic drugs' pharmacological effects are exactly the same as those of their brand-name counterparts but with different formulas and non active ingredients which can cause different side effects. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting

[DequitogAngel @dequitog]

@medpharmaguy #A1 (1/2) The disadvantage of using generic prescribing are: Risk of sensitivity or intolerance because genetics may include other inactive ingredients such as preservatives or fillers. #SBCMPharma1 #RxWriting
