MASSACHUSETTS
LIST OF
INTERCHANGEABLE DRUGS
Department of Public Healthregulation105 CMR720.050 describes the Massachusetts List of
Interchangeable Drugs.
105 CMR 720.050(a) calls for the automatic adoption of all "A" rated drug products listed in the
"Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations" and its supplements as
published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Health and Human
Services. This publication is commonly referred to as the "Orange Book". It is reprinted by the U.S.
Pharmacopeial Convention Inc. (USP) as Volume III of the USP DI.
105 CMR 720.050(b) allows for the establishment of the Massachusetts Additional List of
Interchangeable Drugs (Additional List), and provides the criteria upon which these drug products
are approved.
All prescriptions written by generic name can be interchanged if the drug is multi-source. To
determine if a prescription written for a brand name drug product is interchangeable in Massachusetts:
1. Look up the drug product by the brand name in the index or by generic name in the "Approved
Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations" ("Orange Book"). The drug
products are arranged alphabetically.
2. Compare the dosage form and strength of the drug product prescribed with the dosage form
and strength of the same drug product in the "Orange Book".
3. If the same drug product, dosage form and strength has been assigned an "A" rating by FDA
and is not listed on the Exception List contained within 105 CMR 720.050, the drug product is
interchangeable.
4. If the drug product is not listed in the "Orange Book", refer to 105 CMR 720.050(b), the
Massachusetts Additional List of Interchangeable Drugs (Additional List).
5. Look up the drug product by the generic name inthe Additional List. The drug products are
arranged alphabetically.
6. Compare the dosage form and strength of the drug product prescribed with the dosage form
and strength of the same drug product listed on the Additional List.
7. If the same drug product, dosage form and strength are listed, the drug product is
interchangeable.

FOREWORD
The Massachusetts List of Interchangeable Drugs, is prepared by the Drug Formulary
Commission (DFC) and the Department of Public Health. The DFC is comprised of nine men and
women appointed by the Governor for the express purpose of developing a list of those drug products
that are safely interchangeable -- that is, equivalent to each other in all significant respects. The DFC
was established by M.G.L. c. 17, § 13. This law was enacted with the intent of saving money for
consumers ofprescription drugs, since drug products that are marketed under trademark or proprietary
names are often available in the generic forms from competing manufacturers at substantially lower
prices. M.G.L. c. 112, § 12D mandates prescription forms that allow practitioners to prescribe
interchangeable drug products by simply signing the signature line. If a practitioner determines that a
brand name drug product should be dispensed, he/she must sign the signature line and write the words
"no substitution" in his/her own handwriting in the space provided below the signature line.
The regulations call for the automatic adoptionof"A"rated drugproducts listed in the "Approved
Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations" and its supplements (commonly referred
to as the "Orange Book") as published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Department of
Healthand Human Services, plus a list of additional drug products, the Massachusetts Additional List
of Interchangeable Drugs ("Additional List"), individually reviewed and approved by the DFC and
the Department. The regulations provide the criteria upon which the drug products listed on the
Additional List are approved for interchange. The regulations also provide the DFC and the
Department with the authority to review any "A" rated drug product listed in the "Orange Book" or
drug product approved for interchange on the Additional List and delete it from the list of
interchangeable drug products if deemed appropriate. Drug products assigned an"A" rating by FDA
which are deleted from the Massachusetts List are placed on the Exception List. Drug products listed
on the Additional List which are subsequently deleted are removed from the Additional List.
Of the many factors considered by the Commission in determining which drugs to include on the
List, equivalent safety and effectiveness are paramount. The Commission reviews evidence on
bioequivalence and pharmaceutical equivalence and includes on the List only those drug products
determined to be fully interchangeable and whose manufacturers are approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration. Practitioners may prescribe any drug that appears on the List with confidence
that it is as safe and effective as its brand name counterpart.
The efforts of the Commission in the assessment and evaluation ofdata and the preparationofthe
List are to be commended. The Department presents the Massachusetts List of Interchangeable
Drugs with pride and with confidence that the List will greatly benefit consumers throughout the
Commonwealth.
INTRODUCTION
INTERCHANGEABLE (GENERIC) DRUG LAW
In 1976 the Massachusetts Legislature passed an Act Further Regulating the Establishment of a
Formulary of Interchangeable Drug Products (St. 1976, c. 470, § 13), commonly known as the
Generic Drug Law. This law, enacted to promote and regulate the use of generic drugs, created the
Drug Formulary Commission to develop a list of interchangeable drug products and also required the
use of a standard prescription form to encourage practitioners to prescribe generic drugs.
PRESCRIPTION FORM
M.G.L. c. 112, § 12D mandates prescription forms with one signature line. Ifthe prescriber signs
the prescription form and writes the words "no substitution" in his/her own handwriting in the space
provided below the signature line, the pharmacist must fill the prescription exactly as indicated, with no
interchange permitted. However, if the prescriber signs the prescription and does not write "no
substitution" under his/her signature, the pharmacist is legally required to dispense a less expensive,
equivalent interchangeable drug product listed in the Massachusetts List of Interchangeable Drugs
if one is reasonably available.
MASSACHUSETTS LIST OF INTERCHANGEABLE DRUGS
The Massachusetts List of Interchangeable Drugs (MLID) consists of the "A" rated drug
products listed in the "Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations" and
its supplements as published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Department of Health and
Human Services ("Orange Book") and the Massachusetts Additional List of Interchangeable Drugs
(Additional List). The Additional List is developed by the Drug Formulary Commission. The
Commission determines drug products to be interchangeable only when they meet certain criteria:
(a) the drug product is available from more than one source, with the same active ingredient in the
same dosage form and strength;
(b) its manufacturer is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); and
(c) when essential to therapeutic outcome, the manufacturer of the drug has documented clinical
evidence of bioequivalence.
The Commission judges that all the drugs included on the MLID meet these standards and are
bioequivalent, if essential, based on assessment and evaluation of the U.S. Pharmacopeia and its
supplements, other state and hospital formularies, listings of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services of the FDA, and on the expertise of its members.
The List does not include:
(a) drugs that are protected by patent rights or available from only one source;
(b) many controlled-release and enteric coated drug products since they may not consistently
deliver the same quantities of their active ingredients;
(c)
those drugs for which the Commission had any significant doubt about safe interchange
between manufacturers; and
(d) any drug for which bioequivalence is considered essential but for which bioequivalence has
not been demonstrated or an appropriate standard for bioequivalence has not been established.
Bioequivalence is determined to be necessary for a particular drug when bioinequivalence might
result in therapeutic failure or hazard to the patient. Bioequivalent drug products do not show a
significant difference in the rate and extent ofabsorptionwhenadministered at the same dosage under
similar conditions. Drugs that are equivalent in the extent to which they are absorbed into a patient's
body that differ in the rate of absorption may be therapeuticallyequivalent -- havingthe same medical
effect -- either because the rate of absorption is not essential to the attainment of effective body
concentrations of the drug, or because the difference in the rate is otherwise considered medically
insignificant. Bioequivalence is a primary
consideration for those drug products with a narrow therapeutic/toxic dosage range (when variation
in the rate orextentof absorption could have a critical effect) where careful determination of the correct
dosage and monitoring ofthe patient is essential to safe and effective use. To determine for which drugs
bioequivalence is essential, the Commission relies on expert medical testimony, studies done by the
pharmaceutical industry, the knowledge and expertise of the individual members of the Commission,
and advice from the FDA.
All drug products manufactured by FDA approved firms are considered safe and effective for their
intended use, even if the product has not been included in the MLID. A practitioner may begin a
patient's therapy with a drug product from any manufacturerwho hasbeenapproved by the FDA, even
though interchange of the drug once the dosage has been calculated for the individual is not advised.
Several generic drug products are manufactured under the same new drug application (NDA) as
the brand name drug products. According to section 1.6 of the Orange Book, drug products with the
same NDA are therapeutically equivalent. Massachusetts regulations allow the interchange of these
products. Distributors or repackagers of drug products manufactured under the same NDA as the
brand name product are not identified in the Orange Book. Pharmacists who may not be able to
determine if drug products are interchangeable should contact the manufacturers, distributors or
repackagers. In addition the Department maintains an unofficial list of these products.
Information relative to the Interchangeable (Generic) Drug Law may be obtained from the
Department of Public Health, Division of Food and Drugs, 305 South Street, Jamaica Plain, MA
02130, telephone number (617) 727-2670, and fromtheBoards ofRegistrationin Medicine, Dentistry
and Pharmacy.
DRUG PRODUCT PROBLEM REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS
Since 1971 the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), in cooperation with various professional
associations and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has operated the Drug Product Problem
Reporting Program. This program can be utilized by pharmacists, physicians, or consumers to report
any product problems encountered when using drugs interchanged under the Massachusetts generic
drug law. The program is product oriented, and patient identification not requested. Should you prefer
to remain anonymous, so indicate to the USP and your name will be withheld from the manufacturer
and the FDA. Your participation in reporting problems will help to ensure that the drug products
prescribed and dispensed in Massachusetts are of continued high quality.
Reports should be sent to The United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc., 12601 Twinbrook
Parkway, Rockville, MD 20852, (301) 881-0666. The USP is an impartial, non-governmental
organization concerned with drug standards and quality control. After USP receives a report, copies
are forwarded to the FDA and to the manufacturer of the product involved. Either the FDA or the
manufacturer may act to investigate or correct problems.
EXCEPTION LIST
Orange Book "A" rated drug products not approved for interchange.
There are currently no products designated to be listed on the Exception List.
ADDITIONAL LIST
The Massachusetts Additional List of Interchangeable Drugs (Additional List) has been
printed in a format designed to be concise and understandable. Interchangeable drugs are listed
alphabetically according to their official (chemical or generic) names, and separate sections in each
listing show dosage forms, strengths, FDA approved manufacturers, and categories.
DRUG
Drugs are listed in alphabetical order by their generic names and are printed in capital letters. Drug
products containing more than one active ingredient (for example, CODEINE PHOSPHATE,
GUAIFENESIN) are listed in the conventional order of ingredients.
Only drug products grouped under single headings are to be interchanged.
DOSAGE FORM
Under the generic names are listed the various multisource dosage forms in which a drug product
is available. Abbreviations used for dosage forms and approved manufacturers are found in the front
of the Additional List.
Only identical dosage forms and strengths of identical drugs are to be interchanged.
STRENGTH
The approved strengths of the drug products are listed under the heading "Strength(s)." The
"strengths" must be read along with the "dosage forms" since any strength shown is available only for
the dosage form directly to its left. Dosage strength is in metric units that are sometimes rounded off
from apothecary measures, which may introduce slight variations in the strength of certain products.
Single ingredient drug product strengths are separated by commas. Combination drug products have
a slash separating the strengths of the individual ingredients. If more than one strength of a single
component of a combination drug product is approved, they will be separated by commas. For
example, the strength of a tablet of aspirin with codeine phosphate is "325mg / 15mg, 30mg, 60mg"
which means that the combination is available with 325 milligrams of aspirin and 15, 30, or 60
milligrams of codeine phosphate. Drug products with three or more components have their active
ingredients listed individuallyinparentheses and have slashes separating the strengths of the individual
ingredients.
MANUFACTURERS
Next to the heading "Manufacturers" are all approved manufacturers for the drug product in that
group, listed by three letter abbreviations in capital letters. (See list of manufacturer abbreviations in
front of the Additional List.) Listed manufacturers have met all legal requirements, including
compliance with the FDA Good Manufacturing Practices for the production of the drug product
indicated. Approved manufacturers hold current new drug applications (NDAs) or abbreviated new
drug applications (ANDAs) when required by law.
NDA, ANDA APPLICANT (NAME) CHANGES
Because it is not practical to identify in the Massachusetts Additional List of Interchangeable
Drugs (Additional List) each and every product involved when an applicant transfers its entire line of
approved drug products to another applicant, or when an applicant changes its name, these transfers
and name changes are identified in this section. In addition, the new manufacturers are listed in
parenthesis beside the original manufacturer under the Manufacturers' Abbreviations section of the
Additional List. Where only partial approved product lines are transferred betweenapplicants, each
approved product involved will appear with the manufacturer name change in the Additional List
amendment.
Previously listed name changes have been incorporated into the revised Manufacturers’ Abbreviations
section.
