Dew,

Do non-substitutable generics always require a clinical trial?

What are the criteria that the FDA uses to differentiate a substitutable from a non-substitutable generic?

How do you refer to a drug that is a non-substitutable generic? In other words, what is the correct terminology to distinguish a substitutable from a non-substitutable generic?
