摘要
In 2010, the Council of the European Society for Organ Transplantation formed an Advisory Committee to formulate recommendations on the use of generic drugs in solid organ transplant recipients. The initiative was taken as a result of concerns regarding generic substitution of immunosuppressive drugs. The recommendations were published in Transplant International, and this paper is a short summary of its contents.
