General Pedigree Questions Which prescription drugs are subject to the pedigree requirements?
Prescription drugs subject to pedigree requirements include all prescription drugs labeled for human use, including brand-named prescription drugs, generic prescription drugs, and some medical devices that contain a prescription drug. An example of a medical device is a convenience kit; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has treated any prescription drug component in such a kit as a drug, and Florida is, therefore, following the FDAs direction. The only exceptions are for medical gases, veterinary prescription drugs, and any drug distributed under a limited veterinary prescription drug wholesale permit labeled for human use but sold to a veterinarian for animal use.
