Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
German term or phrase: Leitsubstanzregelung
In a discharge letter, this sentence:

"Selbstverstaendlich koennen im Rahmne der Leitsubstanzregelung auch wirkstoffaequivalente Praeparate verordnet verden."

I don't like "lead substance regulation" b/c it could be confused with "lead-bearing substances"....
Looking for an official version.
Anyone heard of this Regulation before?

Thanks!

neutral  Anne Schulz: "Aut idem" läuft zwar oft auf dasselbe hinaus wie die Leitsubstanzregelung (weil die Leitsubstanz i.d.R. als älteste meist die billigste der Klasse ist), aber es handelt sich trotzdem m.E. um zwei verschiedene Regelungen.

  -> Hallo Anne, was genau soll denn dann der Unterschied sein? (Gleiche Wirk-/Leitsubstanz, anderes Präparat/Produkt, Generikum - *aut idem*/"oder Gleiches")
