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.
Physicians in Massachusetts can only dispense a single dose or enough for “immediate” needs, making it impractical for physicians to dispense in the state.
