Many physician offices, including weight loss centers such as “The Metabolic Weight Loss Clinic, LLC” operated by John Ross, MD, order non-patient specific compounded medications (a.k.a. “office-use compounded drugs”). The Ohio Board of Pharmacy considers this to be illegal. Licensees (clinics, doctors, pharmacies) will be disciplined if they do not have patient-specific prescriptions BEFORE THE DRUGS ARE ORDERED/DELIVERED to the clinic. The dodge of “the clinic can send to the pharmacy, a manifest of patients to whom drugs were administered/dispensed after the fact” will not cut it.
