Effective March 23, 2016, House Bill 188, commonly referred to as Kevin’s Law, modified the authority of pharmacists to dispense an emergency refill of medication without a prescription (ORC 4729.281).
Under certain conditions, a pharmacist is now permitted to dispense up to a 30-day supply for a non-controlled dangerous drug, or if the standard unit of dispensing for the drug exceeds a 30-day supply, the amount of the drug dispensed or sold does not exceed the standard unit of dispensing.
