prescribing by brand
B2CEFR level
55/100Rarity: uncommon
TechnicalRegister
The deliberate specification of a particular manufacturer's product on a prescription so that no generic alternative may be dispensed.
For modified-release preparations we recommend prescribing by brand to avoid variation in release characteristics.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
