Pseudoephedrine by Rx Only Bill Defeated

 
I enjoy having good news for Maine pharmacists/pharmacies. 
 
I am pleased to report that during the work session on LD774, an “Act to Allow Access to Pseudoephedrine
by Prescription Only”, the Health & Human Services Committee voted unanimously to kill this well-intended
but mis-guided legislation.
 
The legislative agenda continues to grow every day with our pharmacy legislative group monitoring upcoming
bills that would allow for reimbursement of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) practiced by Maine
pharmacists, Publishing of Healthcare prices, Hospital pharmacies to service their own nursing homes and 340B
program pharmaceuticals for Mainecare patients.
 
We will keep you updated and informed as these bills are heard (public hearings) and voted upon (work sessions).
