The Board of Pharmacy alerted licenses that the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision (OMLS) has interpreted the laws and rules for Physician Assistants (PAs) prescribing Schedule II prescriptions. OMLS interpretation is that PA’s can only prescribe Schedule II drug orders for immediate or on-going administration on-stie, which they define as a hospital, emergency room, ambulatory surgery center, medical clinic, or office in cases of emergency, or state-owned VA long term care facilities with an in-house pharmacy. PAs cannot prescribe Schedule II prescriptions in an outpatient setting for dispensing by a retail pharmacy.  

Also in Oklahoma, the Board of Pharmacy will be closed November 30-December 2 so that they can move back to their newly renovated offices at 2920 N. Lincoln Blvd. Ste. A, Oklahoma City, OK 73105.
