Has anyone on here ever heard of the Orange Book for generic drugs? I went to a Costco in NJ about 7 years ago
with a Lortab 7.5 prescription and asked that they fill it generically. When I got it filled in NY it was automatically filled generically unless the Dr. specified DAW. Anyway, the pharmacist told me that it may not be available as a generic in NJ, because NJ was the strictest state in the nation when it comes to what constitutes a true generic. He said he would have to check the Orange Book. It was in there and I got it, but it has always bothered me that there would be a need for such a book in the first place and that there are generic drugs that do not work the same as their name brand counterparts.
