Prescription Medication Amendments

Summary

The bill lets a prescription refill stay valid for up to two years and removes the rule that pharmacies must tell prescribers when they make an authorized substitution. It also defines when the health department can issue standing drug orders and sets detailed rules for pharmacists on substituting equivalent or similar drugs, including patient counseling and labeling. These changes aim to simplify pharmacy practice and give patients more flexibility.
