Description
Dispensing of interchangeable biosimilar biological products. Permits pharmacists to dispense a biosimilar that has been licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as interchangeable with a prescribed biological product unless the prescriber indicates such substitution is not authorized or the patient insists on the dispensing of the prescribed biological product. The bill requires any pharmacist who dispenses an interchangeable biosimilar to inform the patient prior to dispensing the biosimilar and record the brand name or the product name and name of the manufacturer of the biosimilar on the record of dispensing and the prescription label.
