HB 1188 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to pharmacists' authority to dispense insulin

HB 1188 authorizes pharmacists to dispense an emergency supply of insulin without a new prescription during urgent situations. This directly affects patients who face immediate insulin shortages and pharmacists who will now have this specific authority under revised pharmacy practice laws. The key provision (added as section 338.740) allows pharmacists to provide a limited emergency supply of insulin based on the patient's existing prescription, ensuring timely access when a new prescription isn't immediately available.
