An MD (Medical Doctor) can write prescriptions for any drug that's been approved by the FDA. The only medications/drugs a MD cannot write out are drugs deemed illegal as a "controlled substance." This would be like, Cocaine, Meth, etc.

Can a pharm d holder write prescription?

No a nurse practitioner cannot write a prescription, only an MD can.I am a Nurse Practitioner and I can and do write prescriptions for medicines and controlled substances ( I have a DEA number.... just like a doctor must have as well to write for scheduled drugs). A Nurse Practitioner is a mid- level clinician and we often function independently in clinical settings. We take a pharmacology course identical to an MD pharmacology course. We are authorized to write prescriptions in all 50 states. In many clinical settings- we are the primary care person- as so many MDs have left or are reluctant to go into family medicine.

Can an MD write a prescription for animals?

Absolutely not, at least not legally by saying they are writing a script for an animal. There is a reason there are MD's, DOs, DVMs or VMD's, if there was no restriction to what each could treat there'd be no reason for going to veterinary school versus human medical school. On the flip side, veterinarians CANNOT write scripts for humans.
