HRS §328-98
Pharmacist liability for choosing generic drugs
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section protects pharmacists when they choose a generic or interchangeable biological product as allowed by law. It says the pharmacist is not more responsible for that choice than if they filled the prescription using the drug's official name. This is a narrow rule about liability.
The statute, as written — Pharmacist liability
A copy, taken August 20, 2026. The version published by the Legislature is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
A pharmacist who selects an equivalent generic drug product or an interchangeable biological product pursuant to this part assumes no greater liability for selecting the dispensed drug product than would be incurred in filling a prescription for a drug product prescribed by its established name.
