HRS §328-98

Pharmacist liability for choosing generic drugs

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 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.
