New Jersey S3840 allows pharmacists to dispense certain drugs in emergencies without a prescription.

New Jersey S3840 permits pharmacists to dispense an emergency supply of a chronic maintenance drug without a current, valid prescription under specific conditions. These conditions include having a record of a prescription for the drug, attempting but failing to obtain authorization to refill the prescription, determining that refusal to provide the drug would endanger the patient's health, ensuring the drug is not a controlled dangerous substance, and adhering to a 30-day supply limit.
