AI Summary
This bill permits pharmacists to adjust the increment in which medication is dispensed for certain prescriptions. Under the bill, a pharmacist may dispense a 90-day supply of medicine if the original prescription is for a 30-day supply with two or more refills, provided that the overall quantity of medicine dispensed does not exceed the quantity indicated on the original prescription.
