SB 2013 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the dispensing of certain drugs by physicians specializing in ophthalmology.

This bill allows ophthalmologists (eye specialists) to dispense non-systemic dangerous drugs (like eye drops or ointments) directly to their patients for eye treatment without needing a pharmacy license. It permits these doctors to charge for and receive reimbursement for stocking, storing, and labeling such drugs. Ophthalmologists must still follow all required labeling, packaging, and recordkeeping rules for dangerous drugs. The bill specifically applies to eye treatments only and does not permit general pharmacy operations.
