Health official reviews generic prescribing proposal
The Ministry of Health in Egypt is currently studying a proposal to prescribe medications by their generic names on prescriptions instead of their brand names. The aim is to improve medication use, particularly antibiotics, reduce the issue of microbial resistance, address shortages of some drugs, and rationalize drug expenditure. The proposal is still under review and has not yet been approved. It includes enabling the dispensing of interchangeable alternatives containing the same active ingredient, while maintaining medical and pharmaceutical controls that ensure patient benefit and provide more options at affordable prices.
