Anyone having to change Concerta to generic, e.g.

methlyphenidate 54 mg/24 hr oral tablet, extended-release

It WAS frustrating, because you couldn't just send the name-brand Concerta and let the pharmacy fill the generic. You had to write for the generic.

We have it now so you can't bring up Concerta and all previous Concertas have been changed to the exact generic script so refills are screwed up.

If a patient takes a controlled-substance script to the pharmacy with Concerta on it, they won't fill it.
