S 13 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Permits the compounding, dispensing and sale of veterinary-specific pharmaceuticals to veterinarians by pharmacists

This bill allows pharmacists to compound, dispense, and sell veterinary-specific medications directly to veterinarians. It removes a previous restriction preventing pharmacists from providing these drugs to veterinary practices. The law specifically permits veterinarians to stock these medications for administration or sale under veterinary prescriptions, though dispensing opioids or controlled substances would still require separate Department of Health limitations. This change directly affects pharmacists, veterinarians, and veterinary practices by expanding how veterinary drugs can be supplied.
