non-generic

Not broadly applicable

Non-generic describes something that is specific, distinctive, or branded rather than general-purpose or unbranded.

In pharmacy and medicine, a non-generic drug is a brand-name medication still under patent, as opposed to a generic equivalent.

In programming, non-generic code or functions work with specific data types rather than being adaptable to multiple types.

The doctor prescribed the non-generic version, which cost significantly more.

The term emphasizes particularity over generality.
