HB 1823 Prescriptions for therapeutic equivalent drugs; Va Vol. Formulary.

Introduced by: Harvey B. Morgan | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Prescriptions for therapeutically equivalent drugs; Virginia Voluntary Formulary repealed. Repeals the Virginia Voluntary Formulary---the Commonwealth's generic drug statutes---and replaces these archaic requirements with Drug Control Act provisions relating to the prescribing and dispensing of "therapeutically equivalent" (generic) drug products. This bill updates the law relating to prescribing and dispensing generic drugs, but provides few changes in prescribing and dispensing requirements.
