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.

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

Wrong. They can only “prescribe” in a VERY limited sense. An MD can define a certain protocol that a Pharmacist can deliver certain drugs within the protocol. The MD will describe a certain patient set under which certain meds may be given in limited, defined circumstances. These patients are still defined as under this physician’s responsibility and the Pharmacist is acting as an agent of this specific MD in his actions for this proscribed patient set. This is FAR REMOVED from an MD’s open prescriptive authority. I know from where I speak.
