It seems to me that you overemphasize the problem of freedom which is absolutely not at stake here because it is not a question of forcing the doctor to prescribe a certain therapy, but of imposing a &quot;method&quot; of prescription.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 7pt 10pt 7.1pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: IT\">Nobody complains because you have to prescribe the drug through a form that is always the same. Thus there should be no objection to the use of the generic name. In fact, the University doctor learns pharmacology through generic names while no one teaches drugs with invented names. The use of the generic name avoids confusion because many invented names often correspond to the same generic name. Finally, the use of generic names does not lead to a decrease in the use of drugs.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 7pt 10pt 7.1pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: IT\">I too cordially wish you a Merry Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 7pt 10pt 7.1pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: IT\">Silvio Garattini<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 7pt 10pt 7.1pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: IT\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oggetto: Re: ProtU08-12-FC FEDERAISF Prof. Silvio Garattini Egregio Dottor Bevilacqua, grazie per la Sua gentile lettera che mi offre la possibilit&agrave; di chiarire il mio pensiero sul problema del farmaco con nome generico.
