How long after the Formulary Council has submitted a drug to the Board for addition to the Formulary compendium must I wait before I can legally prescribe it?
Additions to the Formulary must go through the same rule making process as any other rule change. A good estimate is to allow at least 90 days from the date the Board actually initiates rule making to the permanent adoption of any substance to the formulary. It is wisest and the best practice to be sure a substance is allowed by checking the web site or check with the board if you do not have a copy of the formulary in front of you with the substance you want to order listed. The web site is updated as soon as the adoption is permanently filed with the Secretary of States office.
