Texas HB4539 allows ophthalmologists to dispense certain ophthalmic drugs to their patients.

HB4539 amends the Texas Occupations Code to permit physicians specializing in ophthalmology to dispense nonsystemic dangerous drugs for ophthalmic use in drop or ointment form. These drugs must be dispensed to the physician's own patients. The bill also allows these physicians to charge for stocking, storing, and labeling these drugs without needing a pharmacy license. Physicians must comply with labeling, packaging, and recordkeeping requirements for these drugs.
