Reiteration on Generic Prescribing and Dispensing of Medicines

This is to share with you Department Circular (DC) No. 2024-0369, which reiterates guidelines for prescribing and dispensing generic medicines by select health care professionals in the public and/or private sector. While Generics Awareness Month has concluded, our commitment to expanding access to affordable and quality medicines continues.

This circular supports Republic Act No. 6675 (Generics Act of 1988) and our continued efforts in advocating for generic medicines and its role to access to medicines and public health. Relative thereto, we kindly ask for your assistance in disseminating this circular to your medical, dental, and veterinary practitioners, and pharmacists within your area of jurisdiction.

Your cooperation is duly appreciated.
