- refurb 13y agoIt's no different in the US when it comes to generics. Most state have laws that force a pharmacist to fill a prescription with the cheap generic alternative unless the Rx specifically say to fill with the branded version. However, in the Avastin vs. Lucentis case, they are no therapeutically equivalent.
