CRAPOLICCHIO ed altri: "Disposizioni in materia di obbligo di informazione e di prescrizione dei farmaci equivalenti" (2004)

This legislative act focuses on the requirements for providing information and the prescription of equivalent (generic) medicines. It aims to ensure that patients and healthcare providers are properly informed about cheaper, equivalent alternatives to brand-name drugs to reduce healthcare costs. This affects medical professionals, pharmacists, and patients in Italy. It changes how doctors prescribe medications by encouraging the use of generic drugs over more expensive branded versions.
