[ DOH ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 90, April 23, 1990 ]

AMENDMENT TO A.O. 62, S. 1989 RE: RULES AND REGULATIONS TO IMPLEMENT PRESCRIBING REQUIREMENTS



SECTION 1.       Amendment - In response to the request of prescribing doctors to allow them to write the name of more than one drug product on the same page of a prescription form for a particular patient, Sections 3.0 and 4.0 are hereby amended by deletion of paragraphs 3.4 and 4.3.4, respectively.

As amended, A.O. 62 thereby permits the writing of the generic names of more than one drug product in one prescription form.

It also no longer regards a prescription form with more than one drug product as erroneous.

SECTION 2.       Effectivity - This order shall take effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in two newspapers of general circulation.

Adopted: 23 April 1990
