First study to evaluate community pharmacists’ perspective on generic medicines substitution policy in Saudi Arabia. A 4-step systematic sampling technique was used to recruit community pharmacists. Knowledge gaps among community pharmacists have been identified and implications discussed. Country of graduation and years of experience are associated with pharmacists’ willingness to perform generic substitution.
