They are not supposed to but they can get one of their peers to write a prescription for them assuming it is for a legitimate need. In most cases it seems that as long it is simply an antibiotic, no one questions things like that. My wife is a doctor and had to call in an emergency Asthma prescription for me (mine ran out and seem to think my doc was on vacation. He wasn't of any help anyway). She did get in trouble for it. It was a steroid inhaler. It was basically a slap on the wrist and don't do it again but I would imagine it does happen for the wrong reasons as well. Hope that helps.

I WOULD think that each state has it's own policy. HOWEVER, I would bet that in every state, a doctor can not prescribe himself CONTROLLED DRUGS,anything that's a class II narcotic or the like. <<

Can a naturopathic doctor prescribe medications?
Well, in my experience, YES they can. I am seeing one now and he can give me scheduled medications when/ if it is warranted, and he has done so. He can prescribe a variety of prescription drugs. This is in Arizona, so I am not sure how it may vary from state-to-state. Also, they must have a D.E.A number to do so, which my doctor has. Oddly, there is not allot of concrete information about this on the internet, what they can prescribe etc., this is all from my own personal experience.
