Requires prescriptions for animals to be issued in name of animal owner; prohibits unnamed persons from possessing prescribed drugs; and requires Prescription Monitoring Program to include information about controlled substances prescribed by veterinarians.
This bill requires veterinarians to issue prescriptions for animal medications in the name of the animal's owner, not just the animal, and restricts possession of such medications to the named owner. It expands New Jersey's Prescription Monitoring Program to include information about controlled substances prescribed for animals, requiring pharmacies to report the owner's name, address, and the animal's details. For jointly owned animals, the bill allows veterinarians to list multiple owners on prescriptions upon request, though it prohibits repeated filling of prescriptions by different owners. The bill also requires veterinarians to review the Prescription Monitoring Program before prescribing controlled substances for animals.
