I don’t see any reason why Amazon would have difficulty here. There’s already regulation in place and generics are designed to be interchangeable—getting an off brand alternative would be a win to the consumer, so long as the choice is clear.

They're not, though.
As an example, my wife is allergic to a filler ingredient in one generic manufacturer's version of one of her medications.
