Physicians (MD or DO), advanced practice nurses (such as nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, or certified nurse anesthesiologists), dentists, podiatrists, & optometrists. Medical physicians (MD or DO) have full prescriptive authority. Advanced practice nurses have different levels of prescriptive authority that varies state to state. Depending on the state, other non-MD/DO physicians may have varied limitations to their prescriptive authority. Some states allow chiropractors prescriptive authority for over the counter medications and are considering limited prescriptive authority for legend medication. In the case of animal patients, doctor's of veterinary medicine may prescribe &/or dispense medication.
