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 and other practitioners may dispense medications to their patients as long as they comply with all state and federal laws, complete the Application for Authority to Dispense Drugs from the Nevada Board of Pharmacy, and receive a dispensing permit. This permit is required for all legend drugs (controlled and non-controlled). Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) may also dispense and have a separate application to complete. The fees for the physician dispensing permit, Advanced Practitioner of Nursing dispensing permit, and Physician Assistant dispensing permit are all currently $300. As always, all state and federal regulations must be followed when dispensing, including drug storage and labeling requirements.
