Q. “Non-medical switching” is an unfamiliar term to many. How do you explain it?
A. The term “non-medical switching” can be confusing, but everyone knows someone with a chronic health condition. So I frame it in those terms. I explain that the goal is to protect patients’ access to medications that keep them stable, that it’s senseless to take away a treatment that’s working. People seem to understand that intuitively.
