Section 1300.466  Full Practice Authority Dispensing

a)         Except when dispensing manufacturers' samples or other legend drugs in a maximum 72-hour supply, APRNs shall maintain a book or file of prescriptions as required in the Pharmacy Practice Act.  Any person licensed under that Act who dispenses any drug or medicine shall dispense the drug or medicine in good faith and shall affix to the box, bottle, vessel or package containing the drug or medication a label indicating the:

1)         Date on which the drug or medicine is dispensed;

2)         Name of the patient;

3)         Last name of the person dispensing the drug or medicine;

4)         Directions for use of the drug or medication; and

5)         Proprietary name or names or, if there are none, the established name or names, of the drug or medicine and the dosage and quantity, except as otherwise authorized by regulation of the Department.

b)         The labeling requirements set forth in subsection (a) shall not apply to drugs or medicines in a package that bears a label of the manufacturer containing information describing its contents that is in compliance with requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 USC 301) and the Illinois Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [410 ILCS 620]. "Drug" and "medicine" have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pharmacy Practice Act. "Good faith" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 102(u) of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act.

c)         Prior to dispensing a prescription to a patient, the APRN shall offer a written prescription to the patient that the patient may elect to have filled by the APRN or any licensed pharmacy.

d)         APRNs must indicate on their prescription orders that they have been granted full practice authority.

e)         A violation of any provision of this Section shall constitute a violation of the Act and shall be grounds for disciplinary action provided for in the Act.
