Today we went to the state capital to ask our Senators and State Representatives to support a bill regarding AED's. The bill ensures that before a pharmacist substitutes any drug product for treating epilepsy or for treating seizure disorders the pharmacist obtains and documents the consent of the prescribing practitioner and the patient. Also, if a pharmacist is dispensing a refill of an epilepsy drug, the bill also ensures the pharmacist will dispense the same drug product, from the same manufacturer that was previouslly dispensed, unless the pharmacist obtains and documents the consent of the prescribing practitioner. The Senator and representative that we spoke with are already backing this 100%. Let's hope this bill will pass as we all know how important this is.
