The administration by injection of prescribed drugs by pharmacists. (FE)

What it does

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill allows a pharmacist or pharmacy student to administer an injectable prescribed drug to a patient outside of the context of teaching the patient self-administration techniques.

Under current law, a pharmacist or pharmacy student 1) may not administer by injection a prescribed drug product or device that is not a vaccine unless he or she has successfully completed a course of study and training in administration technique (training course); 2) may administer such a prescribed drug product or device only in the course of teaching self-administration techniques to a patient; and 3) must, when administering such a drug product or device, comply with requirements and procedures established in rules promulgated by the Pharmacy Examining Board. Additionally, a pharmacy student may only administer such a prescribed drug product or device under the direct supervision of a pharmacist who has also successfully completed a training course.
