S 10299 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to prescribing sodium chloride nebulizer solution

This bill allows licensed physicians to write general orders for sodium chloride nebulizer solution that are not tied to a specific patient. Under this new provision, a doctor can instruct a licensed pharmacist to dispense the saline solution based on these standing orders rather than requiring a new prescription for each individual. The legislation requires that such orders follow rules set by the state commissioner and align with existing public health laws. It directly impacts doctors, pharmacists, and the administration of respiratory treatments in healthcare settings. The changes take effect immediately upon passage.
