Allows certain medications in multidose containers used by a patient during a hospital stay to be sent with the patient at discharge
HB 187 allows hospitals to send certain medications in multidose containers (like inhalers, insulin pens, eye drops, or creams) to patients at discharge, if ordered by a healthcare provider. It requires these medications to be labeled with the patient’s name, date, medication details, and usage instructions by a pharmacist, prescriber, or nurse. Controlled substances cannot be sent except for wearable delivery systems during transport, with strict documentation requirements. The bill does not impose new licensing rules on hospital pharmacies.
