Prescriptions in NI

[Moral Ethos]

The problem in Ireland is that if a doctor writes a brand name medicine on a prescription, the chemist must dispense the branded medicine as on the prescription. So if a doctor writes "Prozac" the chemist must give you branded prozac. If he writes the generic name Fluoxetine the chemist can give you the generic.
