HB 1771 amends the Occupations Code to restrict pharmacists from refusing to dispense prescriptions based on personal judgment regarding off-label uses. It specifies that the off-label purpose of a prescription is not a valid reason for a pharmacist to decline dispensing. The bill aims to reinforce the prescribing physician’s medical judgment as the primary authority.
