Note: PharmaLink has compiled the information below for reference only. State dispensing regulations change frequently and we recommend consulting an attorney or your state medical or pharmacy board with specific questions or to verify your eligibility to dispense.
Under Arizona Statute 32-1491, a doctor of medicine may dispense legend drugs to his or her patients as long as the practitioner is registered with the board as a dispensing doctor and meets certain other requirements, such as securing medications in a locked cabinet or room.
Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes 32-2532, Physician Assistants (PAs) may dispense non-controlled drugs to their patients with delegation by the supervising physician. PAs dispensing Schedule IV or Schedule V drugs must also have a DEA registration, and a PA who wishes to dispense Schedule II or Schedule III controlled substances must receive board approval.
Nurse practitioners (NPs) may also dispense drugs and devices to their patients. See the Rules of the State Board of Nursing and the Arizona Board of Nursing FAQ page for more information.
