AI Summary
This bill expands the scope of practice for chiropractic physicians in Florida by allowing them to possess, prescribe, and administer certain substances, including vitamins, nutrient preparations, homeopathic remedies, dietary supplements, and prescription epinephrine, specifically through injection using an autoinjector delivery system, but not through intravenous therapy. To administer these substances by injection, chiropractic physicians must first be certified by the Board of Chiropractic Medicine after completing at least 36 hours of education and training and passing an examination covering safe and effective administration, including protocols, indications, contraindications, and emergency procedures. The bill also permits licensed pharmacists to fill, compound, or dispense prescriptions for vitamins, nutrient preparations, homeopathic remedies, and dietary supplements written by these certified chiropractic physicians, and it revises the definition of the practice of chiropractic medicine to reflect these new authorizations.
