The Importance of Understanding What is Required of You When Administering, Distributing, Dispensing, or Prescribing Prescription Drugs
The State Board of Veterinary Medicine (Board) has reviewed several cases and fielded multiple questions surrounding the subject of prescriptions—ranging from acts requiring registration
as a wholesaler with the State Board of Pharmacy to the responsibilities of a licensed veterinarian when prescribing medication for a patient. After engaging in numerous discussions in the area of prescription drugs being administered, distributed, dispensed, or prescribed by licensed veterinarians, it is clear to the Board that there is potentially widespread misunderstanding and miscommunication of the legal requirements governing licensees when engaged in such acts.
