HB 126 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to prescriptions for certain controlled drugs.

HB 126 modifies New Hampshire's prescription rules for certain controlled drugs, specifically allowing pharmacists to fill 92-day supplies of injectable androgens (used to treat chronic low testosterone) under defined conditions. It requires patients to have filled 12 consecutive monthly prescriptions for the same medication from a single medical practice before the longer supply is permitted. The bill also mandates that the prescriber's statement must specify the medication treats "chronic low testosterone." This directly affects patients with chronic low testosterone requiring injectable hormone therapy and pharmacists dispensing these medications. The change amends existing law to clarify this exception to the standard 34-day prescription limit.
