You are correct AA124. Pharmacists dispense medication on MD’s prescription order. This is true for all states. The interviewer misspoke by attaching the term “prescribe” to the action of a Pharmacist.
Also — I heard Nothing in what the Pharmacist described in the letter that she received from her State Board that prohibits the dispensing of this drug for Covid19. Just that the board sent out advice to make sure the med was not to be hoarded or misappropriated. This is the same thing that happened in Texas. Much CONFUSION about a similar ruling from the Texas State Board. Texas DID NOT prohibit the drug from being dispensed for Covid19. They just wanted the Pharmacist to attach the diagnosis to the Rx. NOTHING MORE. Geez. Everybody is drumming up conspiracy theories over the smallest shit. I know from where I speak. This is my wheelhouse.

I didnt think pharmacists could write prescriptions? Is this s state by state thing or am I just wrong, I thought they merely dispense.

Some can. They usually work in hospital or rehab type settings where someone with a deep knowledge of prescription drugs is needed a lot.

Not true, same can prescribe. Note the word "clinical" in the title.
