If they allow the MD's to dispense, then the MD's should be held to the same labeling, record keeping, counseling etc, that Pharmacists are. When vets were give the right to dispense, they violate most the laws that would apply if that same perscription for the same animal was dispensed by a drug store. From what I have seen over 35 years working as a Pharmacist, the Doctors do a poor job of explaining how to take the meds, to the patients.
Wish I could have been paid for every time a patient has brought a MD sample into the drug store, and ask me how they should take it because the md did not make sure then even knew how to take it, let alone label the bottle with proper directions.
