place of the drug or brand of drug ordered or prescribed without the
express permission of the person ordering or prescribing.
Except as set forth in Section 26 of the Pharmacy Practice Act, this Section does not prohibit the interchange of different brands
of the same generically equivalent drug product, when the drug

United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shall be available
for substitution in Illinois in accordance with this Act and the
Pharmacy Practice Act.
