What it does
This bill relates to the practice of pharmacy. The bill creates general principles that licensees and registrants of the board of pharmacy (board) must consider when determining whether an act violates the appropriate standard of care. The bill also reorganizes Code chapter 155A (pharmacy) by combining and repealing certain Code sections, and makes conforming Code changes.27 (requirements for prescriptions). The bill adds pharmacists to the definition of “practitioner” for the purposes of Code chapter 155A and defines “therapeutic substitution” as the replacement of a prescribed drug with an alternative molecule with assumed equivalent therapeutic effect.
