January.

Generic medicines — the savings
can be substantial.
But they can also be minimal or
non-existent.
The Texas Legislature is studying a
bill to allow pharmacists to dispense
generic medicines to fill prescrip-
. tions, as substitutes for the often
more expensive brand name
medicines.
The proposal has generated a lot of
discussion and publicity, and some of
its backers have estimated a $20
million savings for Texans in
medicine costs.
It has also generated a lot of
misconceptions, according to Lonnie
Yarbrough, local pharmacist and
chairman of the Denton County
Health Planning Council.
— Yarbrough suggests that $20 million
savings would be true “only if
everything has a generic equivalent
. . and if even half or a tenth of them .
do, we are doing pretty good.”
Generic medicine is a class, a
medicine not protected by trademark
registration, as opposed to brand
name medications. Aspirin is a
generic term, while the various
brands — Bayer, St. Joseph, and such
— are the trademark names.
I Every medicine has a generic term.
Yarbrough explained, but not a
generic equivalent.
department reported a rise in
And therein lie most of the
misconceptions.
Aspirin, for example, has several
generic equivalents. But when a
company develops and manufactures
a new medication, the medicine is
patented for 17 years and sold under a
trademark name. Only if the formula
is sold to another company or when
the patent expires can an identical
medicine—a generic equivalent — go__
on the market, Yarbrough said. So.
there is not going to be a cheaper
medicine for every medication
" prescribed.
Yarbrough is quick to emphasize he
does not oppose the legislation. The
Texas Pharmaceutical Association, of
which he is past president, has backed
similar legislation for some time.
“I’m just afraid consumers’ ex-
pectations are too high,” he said —
He suggests less misleading ter-
minology on the legislation would be
“choice of brands" allowed phar-
macists as a professional prerogative.
Under the proposed legislation.
Yarbrough said, a doctor could
override the regulation if he feels a
specific brand of medicine is essen-
tial.
For nursing homes or patients on
maintenance medication, the
legislation could produce substantial
ravings, he added
"But the average customer,"
Yarbrough concluded, “won’t even
know the law has beh passed."

Ezzell said he introduced the bill
because consolidation of the two

duplication of services, such as

He admitted that those tasks could
be achieved without consolidating
regents, but said the universities
might not really eliminate duplication
