Bill Summary
Relative to the dispensing of certain drugs by veterinarians. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill expands the ability of veterinarians to dispense certain compounded drugs to their own companion animal patients when timely access to a compounding pharmacy is not available. The bill defines "companion animal" as any domesticated animal other than those intended for human consumption. It allows veterinarians to dispense up to a 120-hour supply of a compounded drug from a pharmacy, without requiring a manufacturing license, when certain conditions are met, such as the existence of a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) and the drug being for the treatment of an emergency condition. The bill also requires pharmacists to properly label any compounded products distributed to veterinarians.
