What are the procedures for drug substitution in Delaware?
FDA approval for any drug product addresses quality concerns for the manufacturing process of that particular medication. Whether a product can be used as a generic equivalent of a brand name product depends on the rating of the branded product. Delaware law recognizes the FDA rating of medication via the Orange Book. When the FDA has rated a branded drug with an AB rating, you may substitute the generic for the branded drug. If the branded product is not AB-rated, interchanging generic products is not permitted.
