Final Recommendations of the Board of Medicine
The Board has recommended that steps be taken to monitor the prescribing and
dispensing of prescription drugs on the Internet and to enhance the ability of the
Department to respond to such complaints. In addition, the Board has recommended
amendments to the Code of Virginia to further specify the meaning of a bona fide
practitioner-patient relationship for the purpose of a valid prescription, to require a non-
resident pharmacy to ensure that a prescription results from a bona fide practitioner-
patient relationship as specified in the Code, and to provide that a practitioner who
practices on a patient in Virginia must abide by the provisions of Chapter 29 of Title 54.1
of the Code of Virginia. |
