The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 150, seeks to amend chapter 400j of the general statutes regarding the dispensing of drugs prescribed for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The bill stipulates that a pharmacist is required to dispense such a drug only if the patient presents a valid prescription along with a quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) brain map specifically produced for the patient.
This amendment aims to clarify the conditions under which pharmacists must dispense ADHD medications, ensuring that patients have undergone appropriate diagnostic procedures before receiving their prescriptions. The bill does not indicate any deletions from current law but introduces new requirements for the dispensing process.
