Definition

chemical equivalents which, when administered in the same amounts, will provide the same therapeutic effect as measured by the control of a symptom or disease

 

therapeutic equivalents are chemical equivalents that produce similar blood levels

 

Arkansas Pharmacists can substitute therapeutic equivalents

aka 1. AR pharmacists can substitute chemical equivalents that produce similar blood levels

2.AR pharmacists can substitute generics that produce similar blood levels to the brand name products

 

how does a pharmacist know?

they must refer to the FDA therapeutic equivalence codes for medications

Term
therapeutic equivalence codes
Definition

is a two letter code assigned to a medication by the FDA

 

the first letter of the code tells the pharmacist whether or not the medication may be substituted

the second letter provides additional info about the medication form the FDA

 

A: drug products that are considered to be therapeutically equivalent to other pharmaceutically (chemically) equivalent products and may be substituted-- these medications are chemical equivs that produce similar blood levels and therefore similar therapeutic effects; pharmacists may substitute A rated generics for the brand name (ex: AA, AN, AO, AP, AT, etc)

 

B: drug products taht are not considered to be therapeutically equivalent to other pharmaceutically (chemically) equivalent products and may not be substituted-- these meds are chemical equivs that not do produce similar blood levels; pharms may not sub B rated generics for the brand name unless approval is granted from the prescriber (ex: BC, BD, BR, etc.)

Term
